Centrelink provides income support and other types of payments to Australians. It is the part of an Australian Government department named Services Australia that offers payments and services on behalf of various government programs like Medicare and Child Support and Centrelink. You can also get concessions through Centrelink that would help with public transport and medical expenses. When you will first contact Centrelink, they will advise if you are eligible for payments and other assistance. To know more about making a claim, you can visit their website and call them and if you are unable to do that, you can visit the local Centrelink office.
In case when you receive any payment of Centrelink, you must tell Centrelink about any income and changes in your circumstances so that the correct amount is paid to you. If the benefits are overpaid to you, you might have to pay the money back. A penalty might be imposed, if incorrect information is provided to Centrelink. Apart from this, there are various kinds of Centrelink payments that you can get. You can also use the Centrelink App to access all the Centrelink services. The app can be used for various purposes like updating personal details, reporting employment income, checking payments, uploading documents to Centrelink and much more.
