Centrelink wait time for an update in details?

Going to keep this short, and expecting "a long time" as the answer.
I'm a full-time student. I work a bit in tutor cash money that's off the radar***. Currently I get ~$290 a fortnight to live at my parents' home. I want to move out soon, and Centrelink gives you a boost in your youth allowance and also supplements your rent. The allowance goes up to ~$445 a fortnight + rent supplement. This sounds great to me and would be enough to pay for rent, utilities and food for me.
Unfortunately most share houses or shared flats are about $300~400/fortnight where I live in sydney at the absolute minimum, so if i don't get the boosted youth allowance quickly I will probably start burning through my savings. I have enough to savings to live comfortably for at least a year but it would be nice to minimise how long i burn through it.
Question is: How long would it take to update details for this and get the adjusted payment? For convenience's sake, let's say I moved in today. I'm looking for people who have done this adjustment.
***EDIT: I wasn't declaring it because it was well below the cutoff limit, and I've only been doing it for a few weeks. I'll start declaring it, probably best to do the right thing!

Which union is best for which industries?

I’m an architect and we don’t have a dedicated union (that I’m aware of). There are the building industry unions, but they cater towards actual builders and associates services, there is also Professionals Australia, but they’re very broad in the sectors they service.
I’ve been in the industry for a couple of years now, and I have a great employer who does right by me and my colleagues, but in the event that I do need some union advice I’d like to know where I should go?
The Architecture industry is regulated by the Australian Institute of Architects, but this is more an authority body than a union.
I’m sure there are other industries which hover between the type of sector they fall into.
Just looking for some advice.

[Casual conversation] 10:45, I popped into the local Dimmeys for some eggs (at $2 a 700g carton, they're the cheapest around - Dimmeys, eggs, who would've thought, eh?). At the checkout, striking up a quick conversation, I asked "when's it busy around here?" The young chap, in braces, responded:...

... "Usually about now... but maybe because of daylight saving." (I and one other old lady were the only customers.) Many a joke/comment I've heard about daylight saving but that was a first, and genuine, and earnest.

Foxtel main event

I ordered UFC 229 on main event and tried to tape it on the HD version of main event but it’s saying I need to upgrade or whatever. In the past I’ve been able to watch main event on the HD channel just by buying the ppv and haven’t had to upgrade to the full HD sport pack. Can anyone advise? Will it be available at 1pm when the ppv starts? I tried calling Foxtel but they have no one available to talk with atm. Thanks.
