The JobKeeper package was announced as a temporary measure intended to end in March 2021. The government's $250 million Creative Economy JobMaker Package will continue rolling out through the $75 million RISE fund. We've announced $60 million of successful batch 1 recipients and we'll start seeing the projects commence from this month. The outcome of the second batch of RISE applicants is expected to be announced in late March 2021. Over the next year government supported productions, festivals and concerts will fill our stages and our theatres.
