About applying for unemployment benefits at Centrelink in Sydney, Australia, please come in if you have experience.

I am an Australian citizen and have received unemployment benefits. Now I am studying to get centerlink’s study subsidy to learn more about it.

First of all, new immigrants will not receive unemployment benefits within two years. The government The stipulation is that this number is 108 weeks, so after my skilled immigration PR came, I went to centerlink, and they could only help me register for a job. I was clearly told to come back in two years, and I would not get the subsidy until 2 years after naturalization. (Since you said that you have been naturalized , then you don’t need to read this paragraph)

1. Impossible, there will be no subsidy if you leave the country; even if it is a subsidy with no conditions such as baby subsidy, it will stop if the child leaves Australia for more than 2 weeks. Sent.

2. Yes, if you receive a subsidy, you must submit 4 cover letters every month. If centerlink arranges an interview for you, you must also go, otherwise the subsidy may be stopped. It is not enough to do it perfunctorily. Because there are dedicated people to check your cover letter and the other party’s reply letter, and help you arrange interviews. The state pays them to check whether the payment for your benefits is reasonable. If they fail to do their job, they will be deducted, so they are more serious, and if They will reward you if you successfully find a job, because they save money for the country.

3. You will know that this is a network, and if you deliberately deceive Centerlink to obtain subsidies that you should not receive, the government will find out The fines and your bad credit record will make it extra difficult for you in many aspects in Australia.
