Hey there mate. Sorry to hear of your situation. Good on you for pursuing even this unlikely avenue for work. I have been in your situation before... in Melbourne as it turns out. If you are up for anything, give cleaning a go. It was the path out of my dilemma at the time and was a far more rewarding job than I had expected.

I would suggest this: ring the Alfred Hospital main desk ( 03 9076 2000) and ask to get put through to cleaning services. You can call anytime, even at 2:00am where you are. Ask to speak to the shift supervisor, (the Cleaning Services Manager is available during daylight hours if you happen to call then). If the Shift Supervisor is not nearby, ask to have him/her paged and to return your call. (Don't bother to ask anyone, including whoever answers the phone, if their is work available. There is almost ALWAYS work available). When you get through to the Supervisor/Manager, explain your predicament and volunteer to work a shift for free so they can check you out. Next shift starts at 6:00am...

PS. If you happen to ring during the day time, ask if Craig is still Managing there. If he is, tell him Darren with the blonde hair who worked there doing isolation cleaning (mostly) a couple of years ago suggested you call.

Call them.

I work for a bank and I believe we are recruiting at the moment if you are interested. I am not sure how to make contact with a member without the rest of the world seeing, but if you know how to please contact me and I will give you more information.

As a last resort there is something you could do to get instant cash in hand. Sub contracted door to door sales will start paying you on the first day, you just get the goods then sell them at whatever cost and keep the profit, your first day will most likely be learning so you wont get much but by the third day you'll have learned everything from your trainer.

They are always always looking for people as they have a high turn over rate (its hard work, long hours). Its the type of place you could just walk in any morning and if you look keen they will give you a job that day you can start work and by the afternoon you will have your first pay.

Ive gone back to doing it every now and then when I just needed a few days cash straight away. There are many companies with offices all over the country. I guarantee even if you live in a semi rural area there will still be an office covering your area.
