Rent assistant

Can anyone please tell me what the maximum rate is for rent assistance. The price of our rent, we are entitled to the maximum rate. I just don’t know how much that is.

Please Don’t tell me to go on Website or call. I’ve done it all.

The maximum amount f/n is $151.60.

Here's the link straight to the page you want https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/how-much-rent-assistance-you-can-ge...

Literally took me 1 min to search, copy and paste and write this msg.

You're welcome

Wow you are amazing . I did this myself and it didn’t match the information that I see given by centrelink, hence my reason for asking. Thanks I guess this would be more correct than the person in a call centre.

This is not correct information this person has given you. It varies depending on your circumstances.
Your welcome - she was having a dig at you, as usual on here 🙄

You 1 min and sarcasm is not correct. You probably should have spent an extra minute on your research and given the correct facts.

Well she did post the link that supports the $152 so not sure why you're saying it's incorrect

$151 is the correct maximum rate for a single person, as the link supports.

Seeing as OP says "we", it's fair to say she's either partnered and/or has dependent children which means she'd be entitled to a different rate. Which the link does also specify.

That's why this poster was wrong and they were also wrong for adding an unnecessary level of snark. Like, help someone graciously or not at all...

Well that's the thing isn't it, this isn't Centrelink. Someone could have jumped on here and said $3 a fortnight or $1000 a fortnight and nobody could have said anything because this isn't Centrelink and if you choose to ask those kind of questions then you're probably going to end up with all kinds of answers. All the op had to do was google and come to the same page.
