Anxiety

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I believe that I am a strong, hardworking person but I had been suffering for a long time with what has now been diagnosed as anxiety (social phobia) and maybe some depression. I am currently on Social Welfare. Athough I'd like to find work, I am having difficulty even trying to apply for training...hence in a way looking for work also is very difficult. Is there any way Centrelink can help me and if so will I still be on Newstart?

Hi Charlie

Thank you for your post!

Good on you for seeking out help from a psychologist/medical professional! I understand that it often takes a lot of courage to reach out for help for anxiety and depression.

I will forward your message to Sign On team, who will be in touch with you soon.

I wish you all the very best.
