Unemployment payments are set to rise by $75 a week as part of reforms to the post-pandemic economy.
The permanent boost will take the base rate from $565 dollars to $715 dollars each fortnight.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is expected to unveil the changes when he hands down the government's mini-budget in July.
The budget will mark the next phase of the government's economic response to the coronavirus crisis.

Six months ago the government said we could not afford to do this.
Funny how they change their mind and leak it one week before a by-election.

What a mistake to discourage even more people from working in Australia!
We have enough unproductive bludgers out there already!
