There's a certain amount of hours you need to satisfy to not have to look for work or go to job network stuff. If someone could let us know - i think it's 40 - 70 hours a fortnight. You may as well get work up to that amount and claim it - if you have 1000 working credits it will let you get some Centrelink payments and get Job Network off your back.
