JobSeeker Payment is available in Canberra under the same national eligibility rules as elsewhere in Australia, including age, residence, income and assets requirements. You generally need to be unemployed or temporarily unable to work and meet any applicable mutual obligation requirements. You can claim through your myGov account linked to Centrelink, and your payment may be affected by income, savings, partner circumstances or other payments; Rent Assistance may also be assessed if you pay eligible rent. Services Australia makes the final decision, so check the current rules and claim process at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
