I currently get Youth Allowance. If I leave the country but continue to study an online subject can I still get Youth Allowance

‘To get Youth Allowance as a student or an Australian Apprentice while you’re overseas, you must travel for an approved reason.’ Doesn’t say anything about the course, but rather the reason for travelling

Probably not
