Is your visa one of those that entitles you to Centrelink payments?

avi

hmmmn ok now a bit more confused what can I use as deductions cos I know where I will be working uses salary sacraficing but here in the uk I have never had deductions so what does get deducted.

Being a bit dumb today

Well I only have another 36 shifts to work hehehehe

Someone will be along tomorrow who knows about visa types, Centrelink and deductions. You will need all the help you can get.

But as a nurse in the health service there may well be a large number of "enhancements on the salary sacrifice side" ask your HR department for further information or look on the specific job threads here to see if some nurses can help give you more information.

From the link above 53000 annual is 4416 per month - 3584 Net.

But I am sure there are other benefits you will be eligible for especially is coming with family. Check out Centre link payments for Family Tax benefit

if you are eligible here you can then look at rent assistance etc

The short answer is 'not exactly'... as a nurse can be eligible for so many salary packaging options, however, without those options:
You do need to check out salary packaging options with the employer.
