    18yr old leaving school this year - uni next year

    DS1 finishes yr12 this year and is going to uni next year to redo his HSC - what will happen with our family tax?

    Does he need to sign onto youth allowance as soon as he leaves school or can he stay on my family tax claim until he actually starts uni?

    Lots of rules gave changed lately, and may change again if the budget is passed. If he finished in November, I believe you will be paid til end of year on ftb. After that it cuts off. Not sure on youth application time frames though sorry
