Hey there @The-red-centaur 😊🌺
Thanks heaps for the clarification - no worries at all from my end 🤝🙂
I know sometimes these things happen; I hope my clarification wasn't in any way too direct - I was attempting to be really transparent 💜🙂🌺

Hi @TAB I'm glad you've finally had your Study Course approved for mutual obligations by your new DES Provider.
That sounds like a Win at least.

wasnt there something similar in victoria ? @Former-Member inquiries into former MH system still ongoing ..ignorance is bliss..
anyway , for what its worth, US prob has highest incarceration rate in the World, if not , def in 'free' World .. think over 5 million people locked up there , lots of for profit corporations making huge money there. around 5 years ago in aust , companies like Serc-ho charg taxpayers $125,000 a year to lock one prisoner up , think they said hotels cheaper, hence locking refugees in hotels for years. think they charge around $430,000 a year for every prisoner on Nauru. this is paid to criminal gangs who it has been found live on super yachts russian oligarch style in Indonesia

@Former-Member The political elites don't want a flourishing world in which to live unless it applies to them. Its going to be a hard road ahead but in the end some good will come of it. I just focus on ways I can make life better for people now. I used to be up in arms over what I saw. These days I participate online in groups that serve the wellbeing of others and create parallel flourishing societies. Its good to be educated about what goes on but the focus on us must be to create the world we want. Its unlikely to come from the top as its all ruled by the Cabal.

ha ha ha , yes @Adge .. However, when got home and read fine print, I still have to do appts w them and do max 2hours a fortnight training. However, they agreed to some phone appts and they wont be chasing me for jobsearch, although not sure it said that last time looked on workforce site. So there's a few hooks still, but fixable I hope.
They also want some sort of proof that am going there. Will have to sort that out.
How did you go with medical/training etc ?

Yeah @Former-Member 🙂🌺 there's only so much an individual can do, and contribution to wellbeing locally is a great thing (love doing that when I can too!) 😊

Just too many Course & training requirements @TAB All sprung on me weeks after Job offer.
First Aid Course 2 days (1 day Online).
Manual Handling 8 hours - Virtually all of which was Training to use Hoists for transporting Clients - Not Manual handling.
For a Gardening Job - I'm a Gardener not a Carer/ Support Worker.
So I passed & did all that.
Then the 5 Work Apps that employer insisted I Must Download onto my Personal Mobile Phone (for their use) - Overheated my Phone within minutes.
The Phone Battery Virtually Melted down (Burst) - Then damaged Phone as well.
Spent all day Thursday getting new Battery fitted & Mob Phone Repair Shop diagnosing faults.
So had to buy new actually 2nd hand (used) Phone - & have Data & Contacts all transferred across.
Just because this B...e...e....P employer insists on running Work Apps on my personal Mobile Phone.
Then I had to spend about another 8 hours updating Software & Apps & fixing the Phone settings.
Cost me $600 & this employer has not even given me any work yet - No Shifts.
So am so exhausted - Needing to use weekend as essential Recovery Time....
