42天是6周，有些Centrelink福利是6周开始减少或停发，所以有些Centrelink员工就认定6周为短期。

只要你能证明是临时的，就是短期的~ 比如亲友突然生病、在国外住的是宾馆等等~

法律上说，一般不可以：

Note: Generally a person must make a claim for low income supplement for an income year in that income year (see section 27C of the Administration Act).

Note: In the legislation the term 'income year' is defined as having the same meaning as in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. Accordingly, an income year aligns with the commonly understood financial year i.e. from 1 July to 30 June.

这里是说2015年7月-2016年6月期间，只能申请当前财年的补贴（条件是上一财年符合条件，真绕啊）。

但是，Social Security (Administration) Act 1999里的Section 27说，

Subdivision FC—Time limit for claims for low income supplement
27C  Time limit for claim
         (1)  A claim for low income supplement for an income year must be made during that income year.
         (2)  However, the claim may be made after the end of that income year if the Secretary is satisfied that:
                  (a)  there are special circumstances applying to the person’s claim that justify making a late claim; and
                  (b)  the claim is made within a reasonable period having regard to those circumstances.

简单来说，如果有特殊原因，要给理由，为什么晚申请了，而且正常的申请表上没有办法写，所以要另外附页。现在才9月初，刚过两个多月，如果有合适理由的话还可以试试。
