Just to clarify this: those Australians who were receiving payments but had their payments stopped because they exceeded their portability requirements should approach Services Australia to have their payment reinstated. In relation to Australians who are overseas and who are unable to support themselves overseas, our advice would be the same to them. In fact it has been the same to them for some time now: come home. Of course, in that circumstance Australians would be able to receive the relevant income support in Australia and apply for income support here.
