UK students abroad - advice please

My daughter is studying in Melbourne. She is on a bridging visa awaiting receipt of her study visa, having already been accepted to study and has started her course. The university has now closed due to Covid-19, and she is anxious about the situation, and although well, is self isolating as advised . She cannot work even it it were possible, and of course I will help her financially as much as I can, but I am a sole trader whose business is now shut with no further income. I paid almost £4000 for the first half year's study fees with the next payment due in June. What can we do? She has emailed the uni asking what will happen but has had no reply. She would like to remain there but is concerned that if she comes back to the uk she won't be able to return to continue her studies in Melbourne and will lose the fees paid already.
