A woman who "took advantage of a situation" received close to $10,000 in benefits and allowances that she shouldn't have.
Rachel Serena Manuel earlier pleaded guilty to 25 counts of forging documents and two counts of dishonestly using a document, offending which saw her wrongly receive $9586.67.
Manuel had been receiving a sickness benefit which became a job seeker's benefit in 2013.
She was also receiving a disability allowance to attend counselling sessions.
It was discovered she only attended 58 of the sessions while she had the allowance between October 2010 and June 2014, though she had submitted documents "repeatedly" saying she attended the sessions, signed by a doctor or registered nurse.
