hey barbie, work shouldnt effect it as it is soley about studying. When i first applied I was working part time and they said we cant pay for her child care while you are at work but definately while you are studying. I study 2 days pw, and she is in care two days pw. Perfect!!
What they do when you call centrlink is make an appointment for you to see/speak with a JET rep. Mine as all done over the phone, i sent in a copy of enrollement fees etc and they said i had been accepted.
I am a single mum and on centrelink benifits so i get child care beinifit aswell, but now as long as i am studying, JET pays majority of my childcare. Such a relief as im not working atm and couldnt afford the child care without this help.
