When chef Andrea Vignali found himself jobless and ineligible for benefits amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Melbourne’s restaurant industry came to his rescue.

“We feel a little bit Australian, because we've been here for a long while, and from one day to another, we've got no support," he said.

The Home Affairs Department has allowed them to access up to $10,000 of their superannuation funds, but has otherwise said those who have lost their jobs should leave the country.“The real challenge is that many of the people who are on temporary visas aren't actually all that temporary, they've been here for very many years and this is their home now, particularly in the hospitality sector that's been so ravaged by this disease,” the centre's director, Matt Kunkel, said.

He has re-employed staff on JobKeeper payments, but has only managed so far to take back on a couple of migrants, as he cannot afford to pay more wages.
