Everything you need to know about the Albanese Government’s abolishing of ParentsNext, and the pausing of mutual obligations and participation requirements.
ParentsNext is being cut and you may have a lot of questions
For many Australian single mums who are participants of ParentsNext, the Centrelink scheme is a constant threat to their financial stability. One missed appointment or attendance could result in the immediate suspension of their Centrelink payments.
For others, ParentsNext has helpful back to work training, child care subsidies and other support benefits.
Whichever way you see it ..read more

Expert Opinion Panel
Jason Bryce – Business & Finance Specialist
Am I really single? At what point does having a relationship affect your Centrelink benefits?
Plenty of couples split up and remain living under the same roof for financial or family reasons. And plenty of people in ‘friends with benefits’ relationships do not consider themselves a couple. Thousands of single mums have a boyfriend or girlfriend but consider themselves single for Centrelink purposes.
So are you really single according to the laws of the land?
Or are you, inadvertently, a ‘welfare cheat’ who will be forced to r ..read more

This Facebook post had many mums reacting and commenting – there are billions of dollars worth of child support owed in Australia- this mum’s experience may help you recover a child support debt too!
The best of the Australian single mum Facebook support group
I just won several year’s worth of owed child support – even though my child is now an adult. I hope other separated mums can use the same free methods I describe here to get their own owed child support.
I am writing here about my child support evasion struggles with my Ex, and how I got a lump sum of all the money owed to me by using ..read more
