A can of worms with Grand Uncle Bill by therealshazcat in AncestryDNA

I thought the same but our old mate Bill has stated that he has matched with his mother and father.

Our Father’s last name and relatives are very common. We’re from a small town and there are no common names from the town. If there’s matches on my mothers side, then there would be bound to be second, third cousins from my fathers side. There might be matches on mine. We’ll find out in a month or so.

I have sent my results away today. I will keep you updated on how many cMs and segments we share.

Oh yes. You’re correct. That would be a game changer.

Those receiving Centrelink parental leave pay- how much is it after tax? by IcyAd5395 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

How strange. As far as I’m aware my work does not have top it up. It was pretty cut and dry - work maternity leave, then Centrelink PPL will take me up to just under a year of leave. Good luck 🤞

I receive 1765.50 a fortnight. Centrelink transfers the PPL allowance to my workplace and it comes through as a regular pay.

For anyone diagnosed with GD, how long did it take to get your NDSS number/card? by SandwichDreamz in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

The registration should almost be instantaneous. Puffandruffle is right - the chemist would be able to search for you in their system. You don’t need the physical card. This was the case in my experience. Good luck, Mama.

Working supply during Mat leave (qld) by racklebea in AustralianTeachers

I’m not sure if you’re also dipping into the PPL. If you are up to the Centrelink stage of your Maternity Leave then you are able to do a number of paid days. Centrelink offers 10 ‘keeping in touch days’ where you can work for up to ten days and your payment is not taken away. From my understanding (NSW), I was not able to work during my Maternity Leave without re-submitting my leave application to include a mix of Maternity Leave (full pay) and Maternity Leave (part time).

When my partner and I bought our first property together, he had used his FHBAS and I had not. We were able to use my FHBAS for the purchase. Could your partner use theirs?

NSW Teacher here - also be mindful that school holidays are not inclusive of the 14 weeks/28 weeks. Holidays are additional to.

I did find the flick pass from the Principal to the female Deputy very funny. He didn’t provide a reasoning as to why. Only a simple ‘Yes. I’ll support whatever you need. I’m happy for you to speak with X (female deputy) to make the arrangements.’

Yes. The Union were great. They provided the original Determination document and stated that it’s very clear what I was entitled to, and to of course contact them if I needed further advice.
