Centrelink: claims, accounts and payments
Centrelink is the Services Australia program that pays income support. Most tasks — claims, reporting, updating details — are done through a Centrelink online account linked to myGov, or the Express Plus Centrelink app.

Managing your Centrelink account
- Create a myGov account and link Centrelink (you may need a Customer Reference Number).
- Use the online account to claim, upload documents, report income and update your details.
- Check letters in your myGov Inbox — deadlines start from the letter date.
Payment guides
Each guide below covers one payment's own rules — they are not interchangeable.
