This month: changes for jobseekers, Farm Household Allowance and the Australian
Organ Donor Register
G'day, I'm Hank jongen here to tell you what's happening with the department in
August. Starting off if you're a job seeker,
there are a number of changes coming up that you'll need to know about. Mutual
Obligation Requirements are changing for job seekers from the 20th of September
this year. The changes will support you in a range of areas to increase your
chance of getting a job. If you're a job seeker 55 to 59 years of age doing
voluntary work, there are also changes that might affect you. We'll send you a
letter with more information. If you're aged between 30 years and age pension
age, and working with a jobactive provider, your annual activity
requirements may change. Your provider should discuss this with you in more
detail. The department has always been committed to providing assistance for
farmers in a number of ways, including delivering Farm Household Allowance. In
what I'm sure will be good news for farmers, the time frame that farmers and
their partners can receive farm household allowance has been extended
from three to four years. This gives farmers facing hardship more time to
become self-sufficient, so they're better place to sustain their farming business.
If you previously receive farm household allowance for the full three years and
had it cancelled, you'll be able to claim a fourth year from the 1st of August
2018. For people currently receiving farm household allowance you don't need to do
anything. You'll automatically receive an additional year of assistance. To find
out more, visit our website at the link below or call the farmer assistance
hotline on 132 316. Finally I wanted to let
you know about the Australian Organ Donor Register. Around 1400 Australians
are on organ transplant waving lists. Just one donor can save many lives.
DonateLife week is held in the first week of August, and I can't think of a
better time to register your decision to be an organ or tissue donor, or both.
Registering to be a donor is important. When a person registers nine out of ten
families agree to organ or tissue donation when the time comes.
However, this drops to just four out of ten if the person isn't registered. Register
or update your decision to be a donor at the Australian Organ Donor
Register at donatelive.gov.au. You can also use your Medicare online
account through mygov or the Express plus Medicare app. Thanks for tuning in,
and don't forget to like or follow us on social media and subscribe to our
YouTube channel to keep up to date. I'll see you next month!
