My understanding is that you can't apply for Centrelink unless you've lived here for two years or are an Australian citizen or considered a permanent resident?
You can claim Family Tax Bnefit though I think?
No advice on super though, sorry! I do know employers make contributions but that doesn't come out of the wage, it is on top of the wage.

yea. whatever the thing that is part a & b but thats it. cos we are kiwis we are counted as residents for those things just not all the childcare, disability, sickness etc.. which is totally fine. i actually feel really bad even thinking about getting assistance seeing as its not our country :S

you can still run an estimate of your entitlement - go to centrelink.gov.au, in the search box, type in "estimator", then run the family assistance estimator. you'll be able to put in different scenarios (so taking into account part year on AU wages, part on NZ, then an approx of a full year in AU from next fin year) and see what you'll get.

with the super, ask them for an explanation. some packages are 70+super, others are 70 including super. most roles offer super of 9% although some are higher than that

ok cool. ill get him to ask. we werent sure if it was a generic thing or not.
i know you family assistance program is WAY better than ours but by putting in his salary for the 4 months of this financial year and the next 8 months of his aus salary it reckons we get about $192 a week. surely this isnt right aye? that seems absolutely completely and totally ludicrous to me.

Is that $192 a week or a fortnight?
Registered User
