I'm sorry that you have been asked to sign such a onerous job plan. I would suggest that you contact the complaints line on 1800805260. At least they will have to respond to your concerns and you can ask for a response in writing. BTW, this is only my opinion, I'm not one of the moderators.
The issue with the Jobactive Deed is that if you sign, they will mistreat until you do not turn up and as a result, they recommend cancellation of your payments. If you do not sign they recommend cancellation of your payments. You have a lose lose situation. this means that you have signed the deed “Under Duress” this means that it is not legally binding document. Go to legal aid with your Jobactive Deed and ask them to explain it to you. the deed has to be fair for both parties. It cannot favor one party more than the other. Ask for travel allowance from the job network provider. The have fund to give to you either for public transport or taxi. If they send you for a job interview ask them for money to buy clothes and shoes for that interview. If you do not have a mobile phone ask them for a mobile phone and credits. Their obligation is not to waste your time but to help you find work and they must provide you with the means and tools for you. You can also transfer yourself to another job network provider.
Can you change to another job network provider? You can ring another up after finding them on Google, and then chat to someone. If you tell them your difficulties you might find someone there who is sympathetic. Any rate, they will probably tell you it is your right to change job providers. You might find someone at another agency who is not so scrupulous about enforcing the rules. After all, all the job network providers want clients. They might be willing to waive the rules a bit for the sake of picking up another client from a competing agency. You can then go through the paperwork with them, and with the agency you're leaving, and have it sanctioned by Centrelink.
These requirements are extremely onerous, I would be very surprised if they even have the power to impose such extreme requirements, sounds excessive to me.
Greensleves, you can change. There is no way you are required to be there 2 hours a day. At five months you may need to go in twice a month. I had direct employment as my default. Their behaviour cause a massive ptsd relapse setting me back months of hard work. Changed to a locally recommended Agency everyone of the empathetic and helpful in negotiating the rules. Don’t put up with their bullying
