It is dependant on financial circumstances, but basically it is $500 per fortnight whilst one is actively looking for work. Other benefits can be added to this amount. The term 'dole' was coined back in the late 1800's and early 1900's when government agents went about in wagons and doling (weighing) out sugar, tea and flour to shearers and others who were out in the farming/homesteading areas looking for work.
