    I know someone who had four kids the oldest 16 the youngest 6 - she had to have a job (not just cash in hand) by the time the youngest was 6 I believe - for Centrelinks benefit. Couldn't tell you how exactly it would affect her payments other than it would substantially and excuses/reasons like having to drop and collect kids from school due to lack of support network etc were not going to carry any wait with why she couldn't/shouldn't get a job as far as Centrelink were concerned.

    Hopefully someone with firsthand experience can give you better details.
