Change in circumstances

Clients must tell MSD straight away about any change in their circumstances or their family's situation that may affect their entitlement or rate of Jobseeker Support. Clients agree to this by signing the Jobseeker Support application form.

A change of circumstance may also affect the client's social obligations.

Clients who met the Parental Assistance Test to qualify for Jobseeker Support must also tell MSD about any changes in their parents' circumstances that may affect their entitlement to Jobseeker Support.

Examples of changes and how to deal with these can be found in Changes and Reviews.
