Cricket Australia is stepping up for the laid off staff. CA is making sure the staff have temporary work until the pandemic is over.

Cricket Australia approaches Woolworths for temporary jobs for laid off staff

Currently, Cricket Australia is not eligible for the Government’s JobKeeper support program. This is  since it has lost no considerable stream of revenue. Due to this reason, Chief Executive, Kevin Roberts, approached Woolworths for temporary jobs for the laid off staff.

He said that Woolworths is among the organisations who need more temporary staff at the moment. Therefore, he wrote to the CEO of Woolworths, Brad Banducci. He asked for jobs for those who have been laid off temporarily at Cricket Australia.

According to Roberts, Cricket Australia is working hard with all organisations. This is to make sure that things proceed in an orderly manner. However, right now the the stories that are being sold differ from the reality.
