Centrelink for JMP as a second degree

Has anyone done JMP as their second degree? I'm just wondering if I will be able to get Youth Allowance while doing this degree after having completed my bachelors, I had a look and it looks like you can get Centrelink if it's a higher level degree. Not sure if the first 3 years count for this degree as they are a bachelors degree. Has anyone been in the same situation?

Yes you can, if you otherwise qualify for Youth Allowance.

I'm currently in this boat. I wasn't eligible for any centrelink allowances. I was told that I should be able to receive centrelink once the BMedSci portion is complete and the MD begins.

I believe it depends on your age. Up to 24yo you are eligible for YA including for a second Bach degree. From 25+yo it's Austudy with different rules.
