How will the new calendar affect my eligibility for income support from Centrelink (e.g. Youth Allowance, Austudy or ABSTUDY)?
There should be no impact. Advice has been received from Centrelink that the existing rules will continue with a new provision to accommodate the 3rd session where applicable. To be eligible for payments students must meet full time study requirements. This is defined as a minimum of 75% of a normal full time study load for the year (6 subjects) which can be spread over 2 or 3 Sessions.
