I'm a couple months away from being able to get Youth Allowance (Student) from Centrelink and I'm a bit concerned about how I'm going to report my ''self-employment'' income from Centrelink from Doordash.
I work a causal job, and when I don't get shifts I'd do a few hours on Doordash for the week to cover rent. So, my income from ''self-employment'' varies a lot. Some weeks I'd earn $200 for the week, and sometimes I'd go months without earning anything. I've got a couple questions:
- If I stop doing Doordash before I'm able to claim Youth Allowance, do I have to tick that I'm self employed?
- If I keep doing Doordash, is there a way to lodge fortnightly returns? So I don't get a reduction in payments for youth allowance.
