At the time of writing this is not possible but DHS should have this facility to at least have the choice ~ applies to both Newstart and the Disability Pension
Whilst most job seekers may not have cash at their disposal at the time they apply for benefits - you could also think of recipients as being able to make a repayment at some time in the future - but not at a specific time that is know as yet - and then the characteristics of the payment could then change accordingly!
Newstart is not much $$$ - in the 21st Century Australians can go on to do bigger and better things!
You can actually achieve quite a bit with the Internet access and telephones the other job seekers don't want to use!

Importantly you can also apply a DISCOUNT to your total repayments if the Government kept you on regular Newstart and it was (very) counterproductive!
