    And i know in the geelong office they are manning the bushfire information lines.. CSA staff are doing weekends to give the centrelink people a break.

    Even the online services have been struggling the last few days- it took me till today to be able to declare DH's income- my report day was thursday but every time i tried it was unavailable.

    I understand why though, and i am cranky (coz i dont get paid til wed now instead of today) but i guess its a small sacrifice compared to all the people who need far more assistance than me.

    i think online services is taking a fair hit because so many people are struggling to get through on the phones.

    plus there are some forms that are able to be handled over the net for the bushfires and things.

    if i were talking to anyone that is puter savvy that has just given birth, i'd suggest online application for baby bonus as well - i just know how flat out it is at work and i'm not even there!
