Hi @abbac,
Sorry to hear that you've been battling through this :(
Unfortunately we aren't able to determine your eligibility as JobSeeker payments are made by Services Australia. Your best option is to look at their JobSeeker webpage, as it covers eligibility and how to claim.
Services Australia provide other types of payment and support services too. So if you're experiencing other strains that place you at a financial disadvantage, it might be worthwhile to take a look at their online resources.
There are also some amazing people at Beyond Blue if you feel like talking to someone might help. Hopefully you're holding up alright and let us know if we can be of more assistance :)
