quitting (one of) my job while on jobseeker.
hi!
i’m a 22f and i’ve recently quit one of my jobs while i am on jobseeker due to me studying as well and unable to manage all three. i’ve always reported to centrelink both incomes and i haven’t ever gotten any warnings or anything.
i was just wondering if anyone has had an experience quitting one of their jobs and how centrelink handled that? unfortunately because i’m actually finishing my high school education from what i’ve understood i can’t make this my primary form of studying (if it makes sense) i also have an off campus cert 3 class going on and workforce has allowed me to report that for those points.
my other job gives me about 2 shifts a fortnight which is good but unfortunately if i do manage to switch to youth allowance (while still eligible) then i simply wouldn’t earn enough. i live with my family still but pay board every fortnight and buy my own everything (which isnt meant to come across as complaining!) so the youth allowance pay that’s been estimated to me wouldn’t be enough as about half of it would go to paying board and then it’d need to last me two weeks 😅
the TLDR is basically that i’m quitting one of my jobs and i’m worried centrelink will want me to go onto youth allowance while eligible due to me needing to quit because of studies. which i then won’t be able to afford to live (or I’d very much struggle to)
