Single parent payments

Does anyone receive the single parent payment and also work casual or part time? I’m a single mother and my daughter just started daycare so I’m planning on working casual to get extra money. Can someone please explain how this works and if it’ll affect the money I receive. Thank you 🙏🏽

I too would like to know this information :)

Hi, yes I do 😊 it will depend on how much you earn. If you earn enough they will take out some pay. There should be a guide on the website about how much gets taken

You earn up to a certain amount without getting penalised. And then its like... 25c out of every dollar they lower your payments (but don't quote me on that). Its on the website so you can check and it has the amount you can earn before getting docked and everything

https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/income-and-assets-tests-for-parenting-payment?context=22196#:~:text=Your%20payment%20will%20reduce%20by,amount%20listed%20in%20this%20table.&text=If%20your%20income%20is%20over,have%20more%20than%20one%20child.

You can make around $100 - $120 a week before it touches your payments
