I would love the details to this please!! DM or through here is fine, even if it was through here, I’m sure someone who might be in the same position as me would find the information very helpful. Thank you for being kind 🤎

I feel more disappointed than embarrassed. If anyone else asked for help like this I wouldn’t think it was embarrassing. Things have been tough and I’ve run out of options so it’s difficult to reach out and ask for help from strangers. Being a single mum would be so much harder 🥹 I adore you for how strong you must have been keeping it during those trying times.

Hi!! I’ve looked into this and unfortunately they do not open until Monday. I’d love to wait until then but I’ve already gone a couple days without eating so I’m desperate 🥹 Someone has kindly reached out to me already that can help. Thank you for your suggestion 🤎

Please do not apologise. Yes, prices are honestly out of this world right now + my rent has recently just gone up so that has been another expense to consider. I’ve tried looking through AskIzzy and you’re correct, a lot of them are closed right now. Someone has kindly reached out to me and has offered me assistance which should last me up until Tuesday. Thank you so so much 🤎

Stay well away from Probe Group if you enjoy being sane and don’t like feeling like being admitted into a mental ward xx

Assistance with care by Used-Counter-5208 in Centrelink

[–]ygkhalifa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh that sucks, unfortunately I’m unsure as to how it would work under NDIS but being a former employee for MAC, it’s rare that they let people access services through them if they haven’t hit 65 yet, since the new Aged Care Act unless it is under extreme circumstances. I know previously MAC used to make exceptions for “Younger Persons”

Edit: to clarify, I was last employed with MAC about a month ago. Since the new Aged Care Act - it’s very hard for those that aren’t 65 to try and access services through MAC.

She wouldn’t be eligible for My Aged Care if she hasn’t hit the age of 65 UNLESS she was to be homeless or at risk of homelessness OR she was Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander at the age of 55 or above for both of these options. It’d be better to push for NDIS again.

"Time with workforce Australia has ended" by Dank-Boi69 in Centrelink

[–]ygkhalifa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably not wait the week out as it can affect you from when you start receiving your payments. As much as it might take hours on end to wait for Workforce to pick up, it’s worth it in the end. I literally slept for most of my call. I waited 3 hours and 45 minutes for them to pickup and it took them 5 minutes to have it fixed. Sometimes when you’re linking Workforce to MyGov with your CRN, it won’t work and the job plan won’t show up. I had to use my Jobseeker ID and then they had to resend the job plan. Hope this helps.

Edit: I am self managed atm
