Studying and payments

Hi all

just a quick question about centrelink payments.
I'm studying full-time doing my bachelor of education.
my youngest will be 8 in August. will I go on another payment once he turns 8 or something else?
thanks

If you're on a single parent pension I'm fairly certain you're switched over to Jobseeker once your youngest child turn 8 (you're switched from partnered parenting payment when your youngest is 6 so I assume you're on SPP).

I believe the payment rate for Jobseeker is lower than SPP so that may be an issue for you but you will probably be exempt from job search and the related mutual obligations as you're a full time uni student.
