Good to know. Was wondering how long it would be.

"Good news for renters across Queensland, with the state government providing emergency rental assistance to those struggling due to the virus.
It’s set to be a temporary relief until Centrelink assistance start flowing next month"
$500 a week until centre link kicks in, get onto it if you need it.

Redundant yesterday and just rang the real estate agent who put us into this straight away.
Okay what’s the process after they call?

That's just so you can go & do some shopping for them with your free time.

I'll let you know when they actually call. I've received a few "we are going to call, be ready..." Texts but no call.

I've received this one a couple of times. I suspect my number is being juggled around in an auto dialer with everybody else.

I'm still waiting for my phone call from hear guys. Last message from them was received on Friday (3 April) telling me to be ready for the call...anyway I just checked myGov and needed to register again. Fuck me...I won't be happy if this has lost my original registration date.
Ease back you big gov apologists! If I'd made a user error I wouldn't be receiving the messages that they want to call me about my registration. This is some kind of system error. Unfortunately hiccups are to be expected with something like this and the volume of interest they will be experiencing.

I held off registering for two weeks as I knew centrlink were inundated and thought that I'd wait to allow those who need it more than me to get in. Didn't realise I would only be paid from that registration date rather than the date I lost my job. Where's the logic in that?

It's a stupid rule. But it is one way to save a few $$$... It's cheap arse move by the government. Better to join the queue and just wait. I'm not pleased a the message again told me I only need to register once...sure. don't call and don't come in...sure but how long do I wait until I know your system has failed and I then need to initiate contact? It's pretty frustrating.

So...has anyone actually got anywhere with this yet?

@Dales Cannon have you had any luck with the federal government's covid relief plan for recently unemployed that is being administered by Centrelink?
No, dont qualify. Thanks for asking.

My next door neighbour got the $500 a week rental assistance within 3 days but that's only in Qld.

Is the from the Qld government?
I'm pretty sure I have a similar decision coming, when they finally contact me.

A couple of local people work for Centrelink and said they are doing crazy hours, 12+ hours/day 2 weeks straight and all packed into their workstations, no social distancing there. Let's hope they do have a break out in the office!
Sorry I know that doesn't help you guys waiting for it but there are definitely some people working on claims..

Just remember...they're public servants. Even though I'm sure they are very busy with this one. They probably only get 2 coffee breaks and lunch per shift before the over time kicks in.
