Does anyone how much centrelink will pay you if you live by yourself away from your (1 Viewer)

[Yechan]

So I am planning to move out from my parent's place and live by myself.

I currently get paid around $265 a fortnight through centrelink.

I was wondering around how much I would recieve from centrelink if I lived by myself as a university student.

Not enough to live by yourself and have any sort of enjoyable existence.

Depending on how much rent is, it's totally possible to live off it comfortably while at uni.



Claiming maximum benefits, including Rent Assistance, I know it's possible to get at least $450/fortnight

I have no experience with living on campus, so I couldn't say. But I lived off campus and managed fine off centrelink, and I know others who are the same.

Rent Assistance is an additional one I believe, that gets added on.

Also, as stated above, definitely check out relocation payments if you can.

Yeah, around 500/fortnight if you know what you're doing. If you do some work on a weekend or something like that, you should be fine.
