Does anyone know why self-employed people aren't eligible for WFF? Does that ever change, like couldn't they just pay out annually once you have your business paperwork filed?

I got WFF and we own our own business....had to do it lump sum at the end of the finanicial year, got paid about a month ago. Our accountant did it as part of all the other stuff. I also got PPL as a self employed person.

We are self employed and get WFF - I even get it paid out fortnightly... I just estimate our income and it comes in...

Accountant has sorted out other payments (PPL etc) but I wanted the WFF for fortnightly so sorted it myself. (They think I would be better to have lump sum to avoid over payment)

i found the four eligibility criteria and none of them mention type of work.. there is age, residency, dependent child and principal child carer.

there is even a bit that says is you are self emplyed and mised a payment... blah blah
