Just found I cant claim any Centrelink money for being dropped down to 0.6 until I have used all my Annual Leave and Long Service Leave first.

That sucks. There pretty much goes our holiday once this crisis is over.

Personally feel permenant employees have been a tad screwed over during this period.

If the kids are going to school anyway I don’t think it matters if they change between families.

Because going from home to school is exposing you to two environments.

Going from home to school to another home is exposing yourself to 3 environments and exposing the two homes to each other.

Suggestions on how to approach this in terms of care arrangements? Is it wrong to "cancel" them for a while and resort to measures like phone calls/face time?

My daughter is with her mum during the week and with us on weekends.
My partners daughters are the opposite - with us during the week, with dad on weekends.

If you go to .6 you can access your super though? Only need a 20% reductuction in wages to qualify for this. Not that it's a particularly good time to sell out of your investments whilst they are down.
But could possibly get $10,000 before July and $10,000 after July.

Varies, but pretty bloody low. Im OK but speaking with customers who are in all sorts of trouble is so hard, becoming a pseudo counsellor atm

You don't need to take all $10k super out though, perhaps you could take less and then make additional payments into it when you return to full time work?

Guess you just need to work out how much it's roughly going to cost you to survive/provide for a at least 4 months (after June you can access super again?)

Survive off your LSL / AL, then get Centrelink payments and in the new financial year withdraw super to restore your holiday fund?

How do they stop people ‘stashing’ away their LSL money and then claiming Centrelink payments?
They couldn’t monitor all your spend could they?

I’ve never had to deal with Centrelink thankfully so I’ve no idea
