From the info I've received, gross income is less than that amount. So that's good to know.
I'm trying to get hold of my housing officer to find out more from her. But she always seems to be out of the office, or doesn't call me back. Someone suggested that I shouldn't be kicked out & that I'd possibly just pay market rent. If I have to pay market rent does that mean I can apply for rent assistance? (Without rent assistance I pretty much pay market rent here anyway )
There are only 2 other applicants for the job, while I don't think I could possibly have a chance, obviously I do or I wouldn't have made it through to interview stage. I'm so scared! lol
I just spoke to my housing officer. If I was to earn more than $815 a week, before tax, including centrelink benefits, I would be referred to another agency. I wouldn't be kicked out immediately, but the goal of the other agency would be to help me find a private rental, or if there are none available they would help me look to purchase a property. It is around a 6 month process. Of course I forgot to ask what happens if the income is only temporary/12 months, but I guess I'll address that if & when it happens.
At least I won't be kicked out & left homeless. I really hope I can stay in this house though. I wonder if they'd hire me purely on me asking for a lower pay rate
I'm a bit confused about one thing. I mentioned my carer allowance as it isn't income tested & she said because it's an allowance they don't count it. Does this mean FTB or my carers may not count? Or is this carer allowance alone & the other 2 are still income? I know one of them isn't considered taxable income... So do both my FTB & income support payment count? I guess if I lose my carers & don't apply for PPS there's no payment to consider is there?
