Ok, just tossing around thoughts at the moment, because DH wants to study nursing, but he wants to do it full time. Actually, we both want to study nursing, but I thought if he did it first, got into the system, then when I start most of the kids will be at school.

So is it possible to live on Austudy payments and whatever I would get from family assistance? We manage to live on one income at the moment, but its a middle income I suppose you would say (over 50K) plus whatever I get from family assistance.

So does anyone do it? How much approximately are the payments? I had a look on the family assistance website and centrelink, and tbh, its just confusing me all those numbers.

Anyway, just something I'm tossing around in my head.
