Centrelink payments

NoHi all
I have been a single parent for over two years now. Ive been seeing someone and its getting quiet serious he stays over at my house quiet a bit.

My question is how much time is allowed to spend at my place before it effects my single parent payment. I dont want to get in trouble or owe any money

I think it's 2-3 nights a week but could be wrong. Best bet is to ask Centrelink

3 nights a week is the cut off

Apparently it's 4 nights a week, but when I was in a situation similar, I asked Centrelink and they said it's when you move in together.
Best ask them though as it may have changed

I rang Centrelink for this reason, my partner stays 4 nights a week, we have no joint bills, we both pay our own bills and I do not rely on him for any money and they considered me single.

It goes on a lot of things, not just the amount of time they spend at your house.
