Extending my allowable time on Austudy or applying for Job Seeker

Hi friends,

Has anyone ever had this sort of situation?

I'm a student in my second masters level course. Due to disability reasons, I dropped out of my first course and I was allowed to increase my allowable Austudy time. However, this allowable time expires 6 months prior to me finishing the degree. Meaning I will have 6 months of no Austudy and no financial means to support myself.

I am unable to work part time due to University comittments and am having extreme difficulty at the moment finding a weekend job.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Any success in applying for more allowable time or receiving job seeker payments till the end of the degree?

Thanks
