I'm currently on centrelink's 'new start' any way to byp the dole work?

Centrelink is not meant to be fair they make it so tough for people that really are genuine in need of a helping hand, and those who are real bludgers get no problem... I would just let them do all the paperwork and get you into the dole program hopefully this will take a while to organise and find some dole work, during this time just continue with your job hunting, hopefully you will find something before Centrelink finds you some dole work. You can do dole work and job hunt same time if it comes to worse, then it's like good bye centrelink hopfully for good! Good luck.
