    hey,

    im in a bit of a state confusion at the moment, as i need to get money up in for late february,

    reason being im going to australia for a while to see my sister but i need to have at least 4 grand going over, which sucks. (food travel rent etc). iv dual passports so its a one way flight, so not to sure when ill be back.

    i cant work because there are chemical imballances i have which my brain cant cope in working environments and so i cant work full time. i might get away with part time work but either way, it will be deducted from my social welfare,

    does anybody have any idea how i could gain some form of income??

    im really stuck for ideas and have quite little time left

    Talk to a Social Worker?
    If you are on Disability/Invalidity there may be an amount you can earn without it affecting your Allowance.

    I'm curious.
    I thought that 4 grand was for people with a Ozzie working Visa.

    If you have dual citizenship,you shouldn't need to be showing bank accounts to enter Australia and stay there on your Australian passport??

    I'm sorry to tell you that there is no such thing as a free lunch - there is no way of getting this money unless you work and earn it. If your condition is so serious that you really cannot work then might I suggest that you reconsider taking a long haul flight to Australia?

    I know a severely handicapped woman who packs bags at our local supervalue.

    I don't think you're going to find anyone around here willing to help you find a way to earn money, without it affecting the money you're given by social welfare (Our money).

    Have a nice trip!

    Have to agree with this to be honest. But since you say you are not going untill febuary you can get a part time job here and save some cash. Maybe a family member coudl help you out ?
