JobSeeker Payment is an income support payment for people who are unemployed, looking for work or temporarily unable to work because of illness or injury. It is generally available to people from 22 years until they reach Age Pension age, subject to residence, income, assets and other eligibility rules. You may also have waiting periods and mutual obligation requirements, depending on your circumstances. Payment rates and eligibility can change, so check your situation through Services Australia at servicesaustralia.gov.au or speak with Centrelink before applying.
