Keith Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 It's Michelle, I currently work for the local authority housing benefits department and I think the equivalent of this in oz is called rent assistance. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about jobs in this area or what web sites I could look on to get details of job roles, salaries etc any info would be much appreciated. Thanks Michelle :smile2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedolly Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Rent assistance is paid by Centrelink here, not through the local authority. Check their website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbygirl42 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi Michelle My sister worked in housing benefits in the UK for thr local council. She nows works for the City of Joondalup as a Customer Services Advocate and has never looked back. She doubled her UK salary overnight took her three months from landing to land this Job and she's still working there 4 years later and loving it. Congrats on the ielts results! My hubby failed two and doesnt want to do it again! I'm still trying to talk him into it otherwise we will have to go on a 489 and i would prefer a 190 or 189.

Keith Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hi Anita, that's sounds promising then that maybe I could do something similar. I have been told that I would have to be an Australian citizen to work within the rent assistance dept so doing something similar to you sister could be good. Keith was adamant after the 2nd ielts he did that he couldn't do any better and was not ever going to do it again, but after a while of thinking about it and seeing how much time, effort and money we had put into it he tried again and on the 4th go he did it. It is absolutely soul destroying not getting the right results and heart breaking too I do know exactly how you both feel, but he can do it!! Let us know how you get on with what you decide and good luck with your plans. Michelle :smile2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
