Is this for me?
✓ My employer has entered liquidation or bankruptcy
✓ I am owed employee entitlements
FEG is a legislative safety net scheme which provides financial assistance to cover certain unpaid employment entitlements to eligible employees who lose their job due to the liquidation or bankruptcy of their employer.
If your employer's insolvency event occurred prior to 5 December 2012, in limited circumstances assistance may still be available under the General Employee Entitlements and Redundancy Scheme (GEERS).
