This free online session will outline income support available to victims and survivors of domestic and family violence, including Parenting Payment, Jobseeker Payment, Crisis Payment and Special Benefit. It will cover how to establish entitlement to payment, timeframes for claiming, residential qualifications, and presumptions of shared income under the Member of a Couple rule. ⠀
⠀
We`ll tackle issues associated with demonstrating ‘care’ of children and removal of children by perpetrators which can impact both qualification and rate of payment. We`ll also explain application of special circumstances in relation to debts.⠀
⠀
This session will include input from our Domestic Violence Community Worker and information about support services within Centrelink, particularly about how victims of violence can access a Centrelink Social Worker to obtain additional support navigating the Centrelink process.⠀

Target audience: Community workers and social workers who assist victims and survivors of domestic violence⠀
When: Tuesday 5 December, 2.00 - 4.00pm AEDT

Finished TAFE or Uni and travelling home for the holidays? You may be eligible for Fares Allowance to help with travel costs.

Fares Allowance is payable to some people on Youth Allowance (student) or Austudy, and also some people getting the Pensioner Educational Supplement.

While Fares Allowance usually only covers the cost of the least expensive and most available form of public transport, it can sometimes cover pre-booked extra luggage that you need during the holidays, or even private transport if public transport just won`t work. So load up that tuba and get in touch with Centrelink to ask whether you`re eligible!
