Hi there

I'm trying to work out how to sort myself out for Austudy and parenting payment.
I'm pretty sure i'm going to be single soon and I dont have a (paid) job, so i have no income. I'm at uni full time (its only 2-3 days a week, but that what the full time load is for my course). My daughter goes to childcare on the days i go to uni.

I'm trying to do those rate estimators on the centrelink website but it only lets you estimate one payment at a time. So what I was wondering was, say, I do my estimate for Austudy and it gives me a rate for that. Then I want to go do the estimator for PP, where it asks me for my income, do I need to put what I'd get for Austudy as my income? Just not sure if Austudy is like a "taxable income" when they assess your eligibility for other payments (.. Or is it that you can only get one payment at a time?

I would talk to them on the phone but I was just waiting on hold for I dont know how long and got frustrated. I'm thinking of actually going to the centrelink office on monday or saturday to see if i can sort it out in person, but just trying to get some idea of it all.

Sorry if my question is confusing. I just have no clue about anything relating to centrelink payments!
