Is the LAFHA still a thing?
I found this a huge help when I migrated to Australia, and was able to claim for heaps of stuff including rent and food for the entire family - it was like the ATO was giving money away and my old employer was happy to play ball so who was I to refuse.
Out of interest, is this still something that new migrants are able to claim?

Yes, I was on a temporary visa back then. The LAFHA came in very useful and, when the time came, the same employer stumped up the fees for permanent residency too.
