They are implementing a new system which both is more annoying to everyone but might reduce the amount of paper used, I'm not quite sure of that yet. In the Ballarat office they have changed the system. Now those on Newstart get a participation book, which is a job diary as well as the fortnightly form and income record. The problem with this is now they make us look for 8 jobs a fortnight, but if we work over 40 hours then it's 4 jobs even if we only get $1 from centrelink.. If we receive nothing then we don't need to put any jobs down.
I'm sure it will just frustrate more and more people. Like last friday when I took my form in between my jobs, I had 30 minutes to get from one to the other and goto centrelink in between. I ended up spending 20 minutes in there as i had to sign these stupid activity agreements. Soon I should be able to get rid of the need to go in there.
