Go to a caravan park and ask about long stay. Or ring around but seems you get the best deal in person a lot dont tell you over the phone. Usually 200-300 a week. In straight away. Furnished van or cabin.
Its not perfect but will get you by for now and onto your feet.
First stop, salvos or vinnies. Get some food vouchers, are you able to feed your kids? Discuss with them your options, they’ll know someone somewhere that could take you in currently. Don’t stay at a backpackers, maybe find a relatively cheap hotel and discuss your options such as a payment plan.
Go into Centrelink and speak to a social worker they can get you crisis accommodation. Also help with an exemption for child support so you receive full rate of ftb a and b. Also refer you to relief agencies to help with food, wishing you all the best xxx
