Are there any communes in Australia you can join with a only a car and a Centrelink income?

I just became a statistic and about to start living in my car. I’m 56, divorced, with only a car, super and a wfh sole trader business (that doesn’t earn anything atm because of stress / anxiety etc ) left.

I’m definitely not depressed yet though (probably should be lol) and had a thought that because over 55 women are the new biggest demographic of homeless people, there might be some communities of other people who are in a similar situation? Before I contact all the ones in Nimbin area, I was hoping someone could give me some information / advice, on what you need to be accepted or information about other communities out there for those of us homeless without a mental health or drug / alcohol issue?
