@ServicesGovAU I finally got through to someone on the phone who sorted it out. It was a Centrelink error that couldn’t be explained. A lot of time wasted but glad it’s sorted now

[Beatrice Fox @bfoxmaths]

@ServicesGovAu how do I talk to someone from Centrelink. I keep calling, having 7 minutes of options (saying my CRN) just to be told all our operators are busy, goodbye.

[Beatrice Fox @bfoxmaths]

@ServicesGovAU Yes my activity hours are up to date. I am still eligible.

[Beatrice Fox @bfoxmaths]

@ServicesGovAU I received a letter saying my eligibility hours for childcare subsidy is 0 hours and my percent subsidy is 0%, but nothing has changed in my situation and the letter doesn’t reflect the information I put in on the app. I think it’s an admin error.

@centrelinkgovau how do I contact someone on the phone regarding childcare subsidy. I get through to a ‘all our operators are busy, thank you for calling, goodbye’ very long message

[Beatrice Fox @bfoxmaths]

@Centrelink how do I talk to a real person about CCS?

@ptv_official if you are just deciding on a whim to make busses out of service can you please update your app so people aren’t stuck waiting at bus stops until they give up their travel plans.

It should not be this hard or stressful to get a council run childcare spot in Melbourne. #childcare #melbourne #maternity

@EmmaKennedy @Lionesses There was an open top bus of them at @LEGOLANDWindsor going round London miniland. That made me happy

@markandersonrun @secretHT1 It’s called long service leave in Australia. 7 years service and you get 7 weeks extra leave which you can negotiate when you take with your school. It increases by a week a year after 7 years.

@businessvic @VicGovAu Why are they only launched during the working day. It means a lot of people cannot even get a look in.

I personally found 0.8 was the winner for our family as long as I was strict with myself on not working on the day off.
