Although there was one topic similar, the situations are different.
'kay, so here's the lowdown. I turn 19 in a fortnight or so, Im living with my parents still and sister. I haven't got any income because im not close enough to the city to find affordable work. My sister steals ANYTHING of mine that isn't nailed down ($120 This year so far) and It's hard when your close to broke. I haven't got my own computer or lock on the door so I can't keep an eye on my room 24/7. They don't give me any freedom despite being a legal and mature Adult. They INSIST on sending me into the RAAF (Royal Aust' Air Force) which I dont want to join. I just feel like they want someone to always watch over me and its extremely suffocating on my freedom. I can move out with a friend but Im mostly looking for advice on where, what to do/take etc and if I should go on a government scheme (aka the dull) while I look for work as they pay most of my rent etc.

I don't know about australias benefit system, i assume its similar to ours as the two countries are pratically the same but Australia has nicer weather than the UK
