  Hi, I'm Nikesh and I work at the Department of Human Services in a team that responds to enquiries about Centrelink on social media sites like this one. You should definitely get in touch with us to see whether you're eligible for Youth Allowance. While there isn't a specific payment for moving out, you maybe able to test your eligibility for rent assistance when you call us. A good place to start would be to contact Centrelink's social worker service, who provide free and confidential counselling and support to customers with difficult personal or family issues. They can answer any questions you may have and help you with your claim. Their number is 131794. Another option is to call the youth and student services line (132490 ) to sort out any payments you may be eligible for.
