Fao, no. If you rent as opposed to purchasing, you may get rent assistance

Other payments can be impacted though. If you move to an area of lower employment opportunity and you are a job seeker, there may be a penalty applied to your payment for a period of time. So for example moving from Melbourne to a tiny town in country vic.

There are also remote area allowances that are payable with some payments if you live very remotely.


But if you're taking suburb to suburb within the same metro area, or even major rural areas, generally payments for fao would be the same
