I only found out the other day they were putting it on card @eth  um  wont make any difference in reality, well except cant replace my cash spent in anticipation of it coming.

I'm on annual leave from Monday (5 weeks) - which at least gives me a small income over the period (minimum hours per week).

They have no work shifts to offer - which is why they approved my leave at such short notice.

My shifts for today (Thursday) & tomorrow (Friday) were both cancelled.

Not sure if there will be work (operating) in 5 weeks time or not.

Hey @Adge I would highly recommend getting onto Centrelink straight away in case there is no work in 5 weeks. You may even be eligible now for the one off payment to low income earners ...worth checking out.

[Adge]

Thanks @Zoe7 Yes must do that.

One small step at a time.

I've had a flare-up of physical health issues today (severe bowel pain etc).

So could not tackle other issues, until I got the pain under control (reduced).

Sorry to read about it @Adge 

 I have no annual leave as I'm a casual.   However I work for a public swimming pool and my council employees has offered 4 weeks pay for all casual workers.    

It's a small consolation.   I don't see any work coming my way until the end of July.

Can you apply for centrelink?   I registered yesterday.

[Angels333]

Hey @Adge , sorry I didn't see @Zoe7 post giving you the same advice re centrelink.

[Adge]

That's fine @Angels333 All good intentions.

An extra nudge in the right direction doesn't go astray...
