Cricket Australia finding temporary jobs for laid off staff at supermarket

Cricket Australia has approached supermarket giant and one of its sponsors Woolworths to help with temporary jobs for its staff laid off until the end of June due to a financial crunch caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Cricket Australia is currently not eligible for the federal government's JobKeeper support program having lost no major revenue streams from cancelled matches.

"I wrote to Brad Banducci the CEO of Woolworths given that Woolworths is among organisations that need more staff at the moment," CA chief executive Kevin Roberts was quoted as saying by 'SEN Radio' here.

"Our people and culture team are also working with other organisations who are in the habit of placing people in organisations and industries that have a temporary need for more people."
