Thread: OMG Centrelink are slow

You have decided you are going to live overseas with your girlfriend. This is your free choice. The Australian Government has no obligation to finance this lifestyle. In fact, the legislation provides Student Allowance to be paid to Australians in Australia, or to non-citizens who hold an appropriate visa.

With few exceptions Social Security payments are not paid to a client who is overseas for more than a short period (Pensions) or not at all (Unemployment & Sickness Allowances).

I was part of the original team that got the data matches with Immigration and Customs cross matched to the DSS master record. We would interview the clients, raise overpayments, and enquire as to how they could afford this if they had no apparent resources. Following the money trail was often quite interesting and uncovered previously undeclared assets. Lot of literary creativity out there in the welfare dependent community.

if this helps you guys sleep at night i am doing an extra English course over the summer.sort of another story but anyway, i came from a small country school, with mixed years in a class and we were pretty isolated to the outside world and when we got to high school we couldn't believe how bad the reading was by a lot of the kids from the bigger public schools. One problem they are having i think is high school teachers expect by the time kids get to high school they should have mastered all that stuff by then. so for those who struggle or who are behind stay behind.
I must admit that i am not to proud of a lot of the things that my generation does, i do think a lot of it has to do with the way generation x and the baby boomers raise their kids. also though things are lot more publicized now then what they use to be.
i doubt many people born in the years from 1900-1930/1940 would have done drugs but then look at the next generations big difference

Schmierer LR at singleton, have you considered actually going on exchange to the university? If you do this then your can claim youth allowance for the time which you are on exchange. This most likely wont help as I doubt any uni will agree to a 4 year exchange but it may be worth a look.

Brian read this i only just said it a few minutes ago, i suppose the point i was making it not why should i get it while overseas. but why should they not make it eligible for people overseas who are studying through Australian unis and still paying the same amount of student costs as those that are in Australia.
This has nothing to do with me going overseas because i want to live with my fiance

I did look into exchange but the only uni I can do it at is 8 hours away from where we would be living. It is a city and the rent is very expensive there, good thinking though

Only after such time as you didn't get some free cash from the centrelink, obviously the system has worked, it has forced you into getting a job of which the government is kind enough to now allow your to earn 18k of that tax free and not be mooching of them, I kinda like the results here
