Just thought I would ask here until things are quieter at Centrelink for me to call Maybe in a few weeks.

I am wanting to enrol to start my nursing degree in the 2nd semester this year, but whether or not I can claim Austudy will be a large contributing factor. Up until DD was born, I had never claimed anything, but now I get FTA & B, so the whole thing confuses me.

Does the income test work on our combine income or mine only? Or what is the combined income amount that would stop me getting it? I did an estimate last year that showed even with family assist and DH's wage I would still be able to claim something, but a friend has told me different, and I cannot seem to find the calculator now. I know it takes into consideration assests cause we own vs renting.

If anyone answers my questions, I won't hold you to it, just trying to work out whether I might be able to claim something or not. But I will call Centrelink in a few weeks time regardless.
