Newstart Allowance, Sickness Allowance,
Parenting Payment Partnered, Widow Allowance,
Partner Allowance. If you receive any of these benefits from the Australian
government we have some good news. As of the 20th March, you’ll be able to
earn more before your payment is affected.
Right now, your payment is affected if your income is more than
62 dollars a fortnight. From March 20th, that threshold
will increase to 100 dollars per fortnight.
And you don’t have to do anything!
The new threshold will automatically be
used to calculate your regular payment.
So: March 20th you can earn more before it affects your payment.
