Centrelink & Government Benefits

Government benefit entitlements don’t need to be overwhelming or confusing

Centrelink benefits, also commonly known as “Government benefits”, provide individuals with government payments based on their specific circumstances.

You are likely eligible for Centrelink if you are:
– Retired
– Unemployed
– Disabled
– Indigenous Australian
– A carer
– A student
– An apprentice
– From a diverse cultural background.

You are likely also to be eligible for Centrelink payments if you have a family and need financial assistance.

However, it can be very difficult to determine whether you are receiving the accurate amount of support from the government. As the rules to qualify for Centrelink frequently change, it can be hard to understand exactly what you are entitled to.
