They are ****ing useless, made a claim 3 months ago and they said at the time it’ll take 3 months to assess and I’ll have an answer by this week.
Weeks over and still waiting…

Best thing about being on the dole and half normal was walking in, flirting with the hot 25-year old and getting out with some pissy 'we'll see you in six months... your plan only includes applying for one job until then...' outcome.I read that and immediately think " the job agencies will become even more feral than they already are "
I do like the idea that the LNP are the saviours
Thats disappointing and Im sad for you- good luckWell the useless pricks have told me I’m cured, I’m no longer disabled despite meeting most of the criteria they have, they’ve assessed me lower…
Now to wait for the report and fight it, **** this useless system.

2 things - next time you walk into a centre start yelling at the top of your voice about how you can no longer afford meth then sit in the middle of the floor doing circles on the carpet
When called for your interview ask them where the toilet is and then say dont worry I'll go right here and start undoing your trou
It seems to work at Colonnades Centrelink
I use to work for Centrelink.Thank you, it’s a ****ed system. The irony is to meet their criteria I wouldn’t be able to undertake the phone interview they did…
But yes was also thinking maybe I need a second category, deranged and drug abuser would be an easy one!!!

Tell you what though.
Just take it easy (I know that might sound off-hand and patronising) but working for Centrelink is hellish.
Most staff care about the customers but there is no time, and I mean zero time, to give proper attention.
Domestic violence, chronic health conditions, drug and alcohol abuse, the trauma of child abuse, racial bigotry and exclusion, refugee dislocation and masculine stoicism.
They all eventually manifest themselves one way or another in a Centrelink office.
Most of these are fine and just need a little help and will plough on.
Just too many though and that is when it compounds.
Unfortunately, that is where you are.
Edit: Talking about Centrelink clients but it could easily be the staff too.
Centrelink call centres are outsourced to a contractor now. Staff get trained for a couple of days on how to use the phone and software and are then expected to figure out how to do stuff on the fly by reading a manual while people are on the phone (who are understandably already extremely aggressive due to being on hold for two hours most of the time).I was on Centrelink in the 90s, and then again in the late '00s. The big difference I noticed was that there never used to be security guards. I took that as a marker of the standard of service I could expect.
My favourite interaction was when I once rang up and the person on the phone told me I had to do whatever I needed to do in a Centrelink office, and they were adamant, so I drove the two hours to my nearest Centrelink only to be told I could have had my issue dealt with in the service centre that was literally a five minute walk from my house.
How do you know my ex?Son: "Mum, leave the room please."
Mum: Stands there with arms folded, lips pursed
Call Centre person: "Right, lets discuss this"
**** they're moronic at times, but they'd probably get in strife if they didn't stick to the script.
