Possibly, but it depends on the nitty-gritty because I've seen versions of this idea floated that wouldn't benefit the low-income earners who'd need it the most. It also needs a lot of other legislation to go along with it to make it feasible (e.g. rent caps so landlords couldn't say, "Oh, your UBI payment is $900 a fortnight? Guess what your rent's gonna be going forward"), and I'm not really convinced UBI would be needed if that plus a higher minimum wage existed.
