Austudy payments for studying full time

[Visitor7]

Bon, thats really dumb that you werent eligible??

I did the calculator thing on centelink website . I put in my husbands income and all the other info it wanted and it says I could be eligible for $409 a fortnight. I'm not sure - it seems like a lot, I'll have to give them a call. DH isnt on a low income (its not a particulalrly high income either though). If you live in your own home, apparently its not counted as an asset (but it is if you rent it out),other than that, the asset cut-off I think is reasonable.

That's right, if you're living in your own home (which you own) it's not classed as an asset.
The income cut off's have increased, but only slightly.

I just realised how cynical I sound in my last post...you can probably tell I just love dealing with centrelink lol. I really hope you can get something - it would certainly help, textbooks are so expensive now.

I just checked Centrelink's website, and the rate that you said you got off of the estimator looks correct. You can see it here.
