venere08: By DSS, I think you refer to C'link. No I do not, and never have worked for that department. Sorry I can't be your punching bag.

I know what you mean, though. Stories abound of similar treatment and worse.


Isn't CentreLink just the 'brandname' for the Department of Socialist Society (DSS)?

venere08: In the spirit of correct information:

Short term courses as per above are paid out of another bucket.

The person who is registered with a Jobseeking organisation and with Centrelink, is identified as requiring a short term training course(s) as part of their speicific return to work program, then this is paid for through that bucket, not any Centrelink advance.


Having being one of those unfortunate Aussies who has worked for more than 40 years, I have never had the pleasure of the Government giving me a handout.


While I might get a little bit peeved when someone asks for special dispensation to park their 2011 LandCruiser on the nature strip out the front of their housing commission place because there is not much room left when the 2012 V8 Super Modified Commodore Ute fills the single garage and the rest of the front yard barely hold the 40 foot caravan and the 30 foot boat, I do have to provide this person the due respect to the material gains they have achieved while not ever working.


Where can I sign up for one of these short courses? I have missed out on so much by working.doh doh

It's a fulltime job just ducking and weaving, working out scams and lying your way through the obligations that 'have' to be met to get your benefit ya know professor

When my kids became old enough for me to look for work I did a course organised by the DSS, well more than one, but it was a real eye opener.

The first day, most under 30 yo lets say, were whinging and whineing about how little money they got, and how there were no jobs, none that paid decent money. crying

After a couple of days everyone loosened up and it came out how many PC's, laptops, latest mobile phones, every gadget you can think of?? very mad

A complete turn around. I would say at least half of them were not interested in seriously putting themselves into a job. sigh

and btw for those that are interested ... I was a housewife for 20 odd years raising my children (my ex supported me up until I secured a job), I have a background in nursing... when my marriage went belly up... I did courses in admin... and guess what? I now work in a factory as a process worker ... I didn't care where I worked as long as I was paid the legistative amount, and it did not include shift work or weekends so that I can still take care of my children... even if they are 15 and 17

Ahhh Tony, I don't count the many years of doing the vegie garden and selling the goods in a street stall, feeding and collecting the eggs to sell up and down the road, let alone working working for my brother on weekends and school holidays, as earning a wage.

Real working is when you have to pay tax
