Re: 17 year old daughter has left home and is now claiming centrelink

Well she won't be getting much, you can look up the youth allowance base rate, then rent allowance.
Poverty may help her decide that home is better but it seems there must be some trouble at home. Since I don't know about that, I really can't help you any more.
Good luck, BrianS
