ISSUE AFFECTING THE EMPLOYER SUPPORT PAYMENT SCHEME
Defence is aware of an issue affecting the payment of some approved Employer Support Payment Scheme applications. Defence is working to fix this technical issue as a matter of urgency to ensure the processing of all approved payments are made as soon as possible. This issue is not effecting the submission of ESPS applications, which can still be made via the ESPS Online Claim System as normal.

The current COVID-19 situation is a concern for many communities across Australia. Following recent announcements made by the Chief Health Officer, the 2021 Victorian Employer Support Awards event has been postponed to reduce the risk of community transmission. 

Defence remains committed to ensuring our events and celebrations are held in a COVID-safe manner and will hold the Employer Support Awards ceremony when the risk has been minimised.

 The 2021 Victorian Employer Support Awards will now be held on Wednesday 6 October 2021. We look forward to recognising each of the award-winning civilian employers, as nominated by their ADF Reservist employees, and sharing their stories.
