Babe you should be able to get Rent Assistance. The maximum they pay is about $133 a fortnight (i think, dont quote me!)

It really is an exciting time and well done on saving the $3K...it will definitely help you out

If your fortnightly rent is over something like $400+ you get max rent assistance which is approx $140 fortnight. Youd be entitled to it for sure if your on parenting payments.

I think my housing problems are because Im in Sydney. I think people's attitudes stink towards single parents being tenants here; obviously there are exceptions to this but they are mostly in the private rental market. I dont think youll have much problem getting a place on the nth coast, from what Ive seen and heard the further out of cities you get the more compassionate landlords/real estates are.
