http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unemployment_benefits#Australia

Holy Crap, I just read on >>>/v/85061395, that in Australia, you get AU$228 (1 Australian dollar = 0.9956 U.S. dollars ) per week, paid fortnightly, being unemployed. And there's a $15/hour minimum wage...
>The maximum amount of rent assistance payable is AU$55.90 per week.

Why hasn't anyone told me about this? I can be a rich hikikomori/NEET in Australia. And ideas on making the money to move there...
Is there countries with better deals? This is kinda eye-opening when I thought I was living in the best "comfort" country.

Well yeah, but centrelink is filled with abo's in line and you go through a lot of paper work and running around for it. Then if you get the pay you must show you are also trying to look for work unless unable to due to a disability. easier going to TAFE or uni and getting paid for years learning and getting a PHD

I'm an Australian. You can get the $450 fortnightly thing very easily. And guess what? If you're mentally I'll you don't have to look for jobs or anything.

OP,
I've already figured it out.
Get on the dole, then eat mi goreng and free pizza. there are lan cafes where you pay 22 bucks for 10 hours and you get a free slice of pizza or drink.

That's essentially $22 for a comfortable seat to sleep in and internet/games.

Then with the rest of the money, live like a fucking millionaire.

I'm surprised there are still hobos around.

Well, first go to your GP and tell him you are depressed, anxious and that type of thing and say you need someone to talk to. He should give you a reference to a therapist. If you are under 25 there is a free service you should be referred to, well thats what happened with me. After taking it easy for a while with therapy sessions etc get in contact with Centrelink and mention it to your therapist, bring up how axnious it is making you etc. When you go to Centrelink you should have an interview with a job capacity assessor or something. Give them a reference to your therapist and hope for the best. Or even better, you could ask your therapist to accompany you to the interview at C'link, or ask for a reference to a job network for the mentally ill, they will send someone to C'link with you. Worst case scenario is you will end up with a disability job network and they really don't make you go for jobs. Your "Employment Pathway Plan" would be like, look for casual work while attending therapy to prepare for entering the workforce, or something like that.

I'd say it will be too late to get money for studying last year. But, you can go in there now and say you are unemployed and studying and require rent assistance and it should go ahead smoothly. Your EPP will be study and you should be sweet. To be honest I don't know a lot about getting on the dole in the normal way. Call up and make an appointment though, I doubt there is much you can do about last year though. Be aware you will be referred to a job network and some of them can be really cunted.

Go to centrelink and get rent assistance or some crap. Hope you have your pink slip, you'll need it to show them you had been terminated. Then you need your rent statement and bank statements. As i said best to call or go in to find out first.

I will also add, when you start a course if you tell them you need money for supplies you should get around $1000 straight up. Or they may add something like an extra $40 to your fortnightly pay, I think it changed in some way last year.

You should be right to get the $450 a fortnight + rental assistance + the study bonus after an interview. If you end up finding work, you will still get the payments until you have made $1000 too. You can lodge your "looking for work" forms online now too.

You have to be careful with that though mate. I've been told there are times when you may have to pay back the money. Apparently it happened to a friend of mine. Get cash in hand no documentions of it. As soon as you get a job i believe they do cut you off straight out, and depending on how you do it you might get fined if caught working while on dole. My knowledge is actually quite old since I haven't been on dole for years since i think i got red flagged in the end.

My friend just gave me a casual job (first thing I've done in 8 years). You have to lodge forms saying how much you worked and what you were paid, but you do have $1000 working credit. I just got done with it, but you are quite right, you have to be really careful about it because they do try and fuck with you. As long as you're honest it should be fine.

Exactly.

Look at the "true blue" working class culture in Australia. That entire culture was created by a smart guy, because he more or less created a class of people willing to do absolutely horrible laboring for fuck all money, AND they get to feel good about themselves and feel like they are a part of something. When really, they are struggling financially and working really hard.

Different anon here. I'm actually considering changing to Optus or Telstra in the near future. TPG is extremely unreliable. My actual download speeds fluctuate from 800Kb/s (once in a blue moon) to 15Kb/s (once a week), which is terrible considering that my nearest TPG exchange is 200 metres away according to their website, which is as close as it gets.

Britfag here, I get almost 120 GBP (192 AUD) every two weeks. All I need to do is show up at a job centre once a week and tell them I haven't gotten a job yet and that I'm still looking for work. Which is true, but I could easily be telling a lie. I've been claiming for about six months; there are three stages of your welfare claim, the third stage starts at the six month point and they start having you take training courses and shit, but I missed a week in December so my welfare claim got cancelled. So when I reclaimed (I immediately received welfare again within a week) I counted as a fresh claim so I have another six months until I am forced to better myself in any way.

I've been thinking about supplementing the income with stuff online (freelance article writing and shit like that, it's sweatshop money but it's money) since I'm completely failing to get a job, due to a combination of having been a NEET since I left school and having no employable qualities.

When I was on the dole, after paying rent, food, bills etc I was left with about $400 a month for random shit I wanted to buy. It was rough living, but manageable.

Working a few days a week on casual rates here, I get about $5-600 a week and it is easy, easy living.

I give my parents £60 a month and they pay all the bills and buy food.

But, uh, if I was living by myself I'd have hardly anything left. Rent is sky-high. Living costs aren't *too* bad, aside from rent. Living costs in London are on a completely different level (completely ridiculous) but I don't live in London. That said, if you are unemployed you can also get a council house from the government, with a relatively low rent, although being a single male means that you might be waiting for a long time, and most of those houses are in really rough areas. You can also get housing benefit on welfare to pay for housing costs but I have no idea how much that costs.

I spent a year in England on about 100 pound a week + rent. It was extremely rough living, I could afford one or two meals a day, maybe a couple of beers but next to nothing for luxury items. It was a horrible part of Manchester too, really horrible.

>>	Koma !ZoSWhgaKAI Thu Jan 27 08:13:30 2011 No.6873269 >>6873255 Same for Australia. There's alot of unemployed people living on the dole. even where i live there's little jobs. only thing you can do is dole or study, if you're desperate enough you can go work in the mines.

That used to be the case in the north of England (where I live), but then all the mines were closed, so now we have no 'unemployment pressure valve' so to speak, so everyone just goes on the dole.

I can't afford to move elsewhere to work, but if I could, I would.

Fuck working in the mines. Fuck that.

In all honesty though, if you are 21 or older and work 3 9 hour shifts a week at Woolies or something like that you get about $590 a week. For someone on /jp/ that should be plenty of money and it is easy to get a job like that.

Mmh, I'm told all the time that it should be easy for me to get a job in a supermarket or another kind of store or at a fast food place, but it isn't.

Might be different in Australia but I know for a fact it's not as easy as most people here think it is.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 27 08:23:30 2011 No.6873293 I think that fast food type places won't accept older people because they don't want to pay you higher wages when they can just find kids. Makes desperately searching for a job even harder.

Anonymous Thu Jan 27 08:26:30 2011 No.6873301

Yeah you need to get into fast food places young.

With retail if you apply in person mid-October or near Easter, it should be easy because they scramble for people at those times of year.

This is, if you don't want to truly take it easy with mental illness payments.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 27 08:33:30 2011 No.6873313 >>6873283 That's almost $22 an hour for unskilled labour. I was always under the impression that the wages for supermarket work were closer to the $18-20 range.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 27 08:39:30 2011 No.6873323 >>6873313 I get slightly over $22 an hour. It is surprisingly good money. A fellow I work with who is 18 gets about $15 an hour.
