(throwaway!)

Hi everyone,

Just asking after my mum, she's on winz with some income top up benefit (approx 150 each week) but she also lives in a complex that houses those on winz subsides (i know not every house will accept those on winz payments). she works 36 hours per fortnight only (3 days per week at 6 hours per day). she has no savings no real assets and honestly lives paycheck to paycheck.

is there any additional govt support for her?

i've been through her financials and tried to help her get it sorted and telling her overdrafting is a bad thing but i'm pretty sure she's not telling me the full story with her spending. so just wondering if there's any other avenues that can help her stay afloat.
