    PPP and FTB payments and a overseas trip for a month

    Interesting info BG, I would never have thought of a holiday as a change of circumstance. Surely you don't have to notify of every holiday outside of Australia? Or is it only over a certain number of weeks. Will go check out the guidelines now.

    You are required to notify of every time you leave the country for any reason. It's outlined in every letter you receive. It is definitely a change of circumstance. You're no longer in Australia and may not meet residency requirements for payments any more. There is a constant data link with immigration and its not unusual to see payments cut off completely as soon as someone leaves the country.

    When I was receiving FTB, I remember reading something that said if we were leaving the country, you had to advise them. I did call, but it didn't affect my payments. We went to NZ for a month.
