Centrelink payments

Hi I'm asking on behalf of someone that is struggling, she is on Newstart payment from Centrelink and is 28 weeks pregnant does anyone know if or when or what type of payments she can or should change to. She is single if that makes a difference.

After the baby is born she should be eligible for single parent payment

When baby arrives she will be able to apply for parenting payment single and family tax benefit A and B.

If she is struggling due to her pregnancy (eg too sick to look for work) she might be able to get an exemption from looking for work.
