Instability after finding rental home
After months of searching and numerous unsuccessful rental applications, a resident finally secured a rental home. However, their newfound stability was soon disrupted. The resident was unexpectedly tasked with caring for four grandchildren whose mother experienced a severe mental breakdown, requiring hospitalization.
The father, unable to balance full-time parenting and work, sought assistance, leading to the children being placed in the resident's care. This has necessitated weekly trips from the NSW/VIC border to Werribee, adding significant financial strain.
Despite receiving a carer's pension for her husband, the resident now faces the added responsibility of caring for four children and their mother. While physically capable, the ongoing travel costs have become a significant burden. Although she benefits from payment plans and concessions, she is seeking additional relief during this challenging period.
