So, a bit complicated.

Next year, I will be working 1-2 days a week (taxable) and getting a full time scholarship (non taxable). We are frantically TTC!

Both the paid work and the scholarship have 3 months paid maternity leave at the current rate. So I would give birth and then go on leave and keep getting paid the same, and return after 3 months to be back to normal, with DH staying at home with the two kids.

My question is, can I be receiving paid maternity allowance from the job, and the scholarship (not going to work, on proper maternity leave) and also receive the government allowance (I think it's about $540 a week for 18 weeks) at the same time?

It's doing my head in I can't figure out all the exclusions etc.

Thanks
