For the purpose of this task we will assume that everyone is eligible for Centrelink independent living away from home allowance (youth allowance)as well as rent assistance. We will assume that you all have a part time job which you work on weekends that pays you $100 per week ($200 per fortnight).
Access the Centrelink website by using the links below. Ascertain the assistance you would be entitled to on youth allowance. You will also need to find out the amount of rent assistance you would be eligible for as you will be living away from home. You should present this in a table form similar to the table Mr Cronin has given you.
