Hey guys. I've been asked to complete my profile on Workforce Australia. I have done so. Following the instructions carefully. I am waiting for the "my tasks" section to show up on my app in which I am supposed to receive and agree to my job plan and begin receiving funds. Is there something I've missed? Do I need to call through? (have tried call

My husband applied for Age Pension and was rejected based on old income data - the decision was manifestly incorrect. He immediately applied for a formal review, and received an acknowledgement letter. Unfortunately he passed just over five weeks later, having received no advice at all about the review. He was also charged excess home care fees fr

Hey everyone, I logged in to report my income this morning (Monday) as per usual but when I logged in it said that I was meant to report yesterday (Sunday), does anyone know if that means my payment will be delayed? I don’t see any reason for the reporting day to be changed (it only seems to change when there’s a public holiday) submitted by
I have been on jobseeker receiving $802.40 a fortnight and accrued $1000 working credit. I started a new job and got paid for the first week and entered the pay/hours into the app. The fortnightly payment went to $658.57, and my working credit went to $0. Should working credit have not gone to $341.43, or am I misunderstanding how it works? s

How long does centrelink usually take to raise a debt after asking for information like payslips, tax returns etc? I was asked to provide these in early August but have not heard anything since, ive even rang centrelink multiple times and they have not mentioned anything either submitted by /u/Sad-Fortune-7013 [link] [comments]

Some sources are saying 8 weeks like the Guide to Social Policy Law website. Meanwhile the centrelink website states “at least 4 weeks”. So which one is it? I’m hoping I can skip this altogether with a letter from my GP stating that my job is sending me face-first towards a nervous breakdown and I need to quit for mental health reasons, however I
hello, i’m from a rural area and i’m about to move 5 hours away to sydney for university (i’m 19 right now). unfortunately, i feel like i wont be eligible for the youth allowance payment because my parents income is too high (they still won’t be able to support me much, if at all really). i always see people who have rich parents say that they get
I've recently been cut off my concession card as I'm slightly over the income limit, applied again and got rejected... How can you get around the income limit? I have to take 13 different medications daily and the cost is not something I can afford... So, I haven't been buying more after running out, I'm down to 7/13 daily medications currently.
This might be a niche topic but hopefully there's at least one person out there who knows. I'm on JSK and I recently got a royalty payment for a book I self published a couple of years ago. I declared it as 'other income' on the website. I didn't hear anything from them and nothing was deducted from my JSK payment. So I'm not sure if they even saw
My esat says - Conditions that will be lasting 2+ years Baseline work capacity: 8-14 hrs p/w Temporary work capacity: 0-7 hrs p/w with an end date of 3/10/2026 in 2+ years with support possible it may increase to 15-22 hrs p/w Because it says 15-22 hrs possible in 2 years does that mean in the current time I cannot be moved to the higher rate?
I woke up this morning to several missed calls from a private number and a voicemail saying it was a guy from centrelink. This wasn't scheduled ahead of time so I didn't realise it, plus it was two hours before I woke up. Anyway, as it's Saturday the regular phone services won't put me on to this guy and the physical offices aren't open, so how do
Hi everyone, heading to uni next year. Finished high school 2024 and have been working ever since (currently on my gap year) I’ll have around 20k when I start uni in savings.

Hi, just hoping to save time on the phone. I’ve started a very casual job and I know I have to report it. Is reporting the income (where I’ll add Ann. And name blah blah) when I do my fortnightly report enough or do I have to do anything extra? To let them know? I feel like last time I just reported the income (and it was pre-filled by the app anyw
Can anyone please offer advice on navigating a review after being rejected for carer allowance now that my child has turned 16. It is only around $75/week, but losing it does impact our family. It chips in towards all the extra time with helping the child, admin, appointments, scripts et al. He is autistic, with ADHD, anxiety, though not diagnosed
Hello, I have a couple of questions. I just had my Sonic Health appointment, and if all goes well, how long do you think it will take for them to update my JobSeeker payment to Disability?
