You just go onto Income Support (aka newstart) and have a doctor sign your form. Even if you can't find a doctor to sign your form, worst case scenario is that you need to say that you looked for work.

The problem remains that for every genuine case, there is somebody else out there rorting the system.

Sorry to be so blunt, but get a clue mate.
Do you even realise there's a payment scale?

I took him into Centrelink Midland and went through the entire process with him.
Including meeting with and getting letters from his treating Professor.
If you think all you need is a doctor to sign a form you must live on Mars, there is no such form in existence. Centrelink removed them all!

But that's ok, keep your head in the sand and your hand out for the middle class welfare you're more than likely receiving.

You know, I had the same thoughts as you, all was fine and dandy. The reality is something entirely different when you have to start dealing with this massively broken system.
