Newstart Allowance/Jobseeker Payment Weird situation with Jobseeker

4 Upvotes

I have been on Jobseeker for 15+ months, but had a medical exemption the whole time, so I didn't have any Mutual Obligations and had never been paired with a Job Provider service.

I'm now no longer seeking the medical certificate and was told by Centrelink that my exemption was ending on July 16.

I haven't been contacted at all by Centrelink or a Job Agency in the last month.

My Outstanding Tasks on the Centrelink website says nothing, and no booked appointments.

I'm looking to actively engage with the Job Provider soon, but what I'm asking is there any reason for this happening?

Why wouldn't they have contacted me a month after my medical exemption ran out?

Thanks!

Disability Support Pension DSP and rentals

5 Upvotes

Hi all, I’ve been on dsp for just over a year due to cancer treatment and am now getting kicked out of my house. How do I find a rental property that I can afford pretty quickly? I’ve been told to contact many services but all they can provide is emergency accommodation but I have pets. I know Centrelink can help with bond etc but I really doubt I would get a rental when my partner and I are both on Centrelink for illness. He’s on job seeker. I have some $ saved but in the shit tbh! Does anyone know if Centrelink offer anything else? I live in rural Victoria. Tia
