wages, family assistance and super

[briggsy's girl]

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.

[Indadhanu]

Is that $192 a week or a fortnight?

[M3F]

a week. it gave me a fortnightly total but i devided it by 2 cos thats how i work everything out

[briggsy's girl]

if you have 3 kids, you have no income, and you will be paying rent, yup, 360 a fortnight sounds about right to be honest

over here his income is $48000, our mortgage is $559 a week and we get $100 a week in family assistance. you can understand why this blows my mind. we only have 2 kids
