    I’ve literally opted for.homelessness over Centrelink payments because I knew I’d pick up work fast—and I did, KFC, which paid more, had free food, and was less effort while I kept looking for work. Feels worse to be on Jobseeker than to just pick up shift work and look for jobs while doing that. There’s no shortage of shift work.

    I don’t see how any of this is relevant to JobSeeker. I’m not sure you actually understand the purpose of the payment or how it works.

      Don’t worry, I definitely do. I spent two years on a project that specifically categorised different Services Australia (formerly DHS) services and cases. In order to do this, everything service had to be understood extremely thoroughly.

      However, it doesn’t require all that. It is quite clear what it is for and explains it on the SA site.

      Here is a good video https://youtu.be/o5ud6LWDL2I
