With little to no experience, no good references and a trumped up assault charge on my Police record, I am finding it very difficult to get work. Even volunteer employment. Many of them require National Police Checks and Working With Children Checks. Don't have a license either (way too broke to afford a car).
I don't know what to do. I can't stay at my friend's place forever. Rent is expensive in Sydney, only barely able to cover the rent here with DSP. I'm scared if it gets to the stage where I'm back on the streets; being homeless in rural was bad enough but metro homeless is even worse.
