    Hi all,

    I am currently in Australia and have lost my job and am very doubtful i will find another and have been considering coming home to finish my course.

    Its a part time course that will last for 2 years.
    I have been in Australia for 1 ear and 4 months

    I know nothing about cliaming benefits and was wondering what direstion i should go in to claim benefits and what am i entitled to?

    Thanks in advance

    Are you on the WHV?

    If not, then you MAY not be eligible for any benefit, since you'll not meet the standard habitual residency test (ie lived here for two years). There other ways to meet it, though, eg signing a declaration. However to get definitive answers, you'll really need to talk to the Welfare people here.

    Hmm .. and I'm not sure that you'll get any benefit here if you're studying, either.
