Hey everyone. Just moved to Perth from overseas and will be moving into a one bedroom apartment in two weeks time. I'm just now learning about NBN and I see my place is set up for it. I live alone and don't have a ton of devices but I do enjoy gaming on my Xbox and watching movies so I'd like to be able to play with as little latency as possible. It sounds like Aussie Broadband is a solid choice and I'm guessing their 500/50 plan should be good enough for what I need? I understand that 3rd party modems/routers are typically the way to go so as someone whose new to the country I'd appreciate any suggestions on what models I should take a look at..

Thanks very much in advance.

Hi. Sorry, I'm a Youth Worker....been doing it for almost two months now. In my role it's a 1:1 position and the shifts are 24 hours long. On Sunday I was assaulted by my client. They got angry at me and attacked me with a 2 foot long wooden rod. After being struck on the arm/shoulder/side, I was forced to block a strike with my wrist that was aimed at my face/head. They then started punching me with a closed fist before I was able to get out of the house. The only physical damage done to me is a sprained wrist from blocking the blow to my face.

I went to urgent care the night of the assault and was told to take a few days off to give my wrist time to heal. The only problem is, that over the past 48 hours I've come down with fairly severe anxiety and haven't left my bedroom. I called my companies Employee Assistance Program today and they recommended that I take some time off. I'm a full time employee so my employer would be required to give me time off.

Tomorrow I have a meeting with my GP to see if I'm able to return to work and then I have a Post Crisis meeting with manager about returning to work. Honestly, the thought of returning to work with this individual is something I'm kind of dreading, I don't think I could stand to be around him for 24 hours straight right now.

Part of me feels like I'm overreacting, but another part of me feels that I'm justified in feeling this way. I plan on telling my GP tomorrow that while physically I feel OK, mentally I don't think I'm ready to return to work in two days.

Any advice from someone whose experienced something similar? Thanks.
