That's a can of worms itsa!
They'll pay you single rate OS because your wife's circumstances allow for that. But as a prospective permanent resident she will not be eligible for any Centrelink payments for a preclusion period. My friend's wife's was two years and someone somewhere on the forum said their's was one year. It wasn't a problem for my friend as he has a full time job.
Whether they only pay you half married rate plus some child allowance because of changed circumstances I wouldn't want to hazard a guess. Cheers bear.

A friend is currently on about $10 a week pension as his wife works good hours. When they came over from the Philippines she got a lot of free courses, English language for starters even though she was relatively fluent, and then aged care. Their child was born in Australia so no problems there.
There was a member here who brought his wife and two kiddies back from Cambodia, he came under threat when they moved the residency/portability goal posts. I'm sure that she went on unemployment while he got the pension and the child stuff. We pointed out that he went from a single pension overseas to about $50K a year in Australia... some savings eh?
