I really feel for those stuck in the Jobactive system, but I am hoping the next few weeks become eye openers to the general public who endorsed people on Centrelink being punished.
I honestly thought after so many people ended up on Centrelink that providers would have to start treating people better, but it seems to be the opposite, their bullying tactics are now on steroids.
Before I got approved for DSP they started calling me every week and asking in an aggressive tone if I want to look for work. Then the other day they called me out of the blue first thing in the morning with no warning of any appointment and told me they were calling because I had an appointment booked that day. So apparently being on Centrelink is now an on call job where you can be called in at any time on any day of the week with no warning. I believe they are under directive from the government to act more aggressively.
Thankfully because I’m now on DSP I told them I have no obligations and they are exiting me from the system. I guess the next few weeks will be telling as I have already seen on fb comments of people who have a job to go back to in a month being told by their provider that they will cut them off if they don’t take any job offered to them by their provider.
