A Centrelink eligibility guide can help you understand the main rules for payments such as JobSeeker, Family Tax Benefit and the Age Pension. Eligibility commonly depends on factors including your age, residency, income, assets, living arrangements and personal circumstances. The exact result is assessed by Services Australia, and some payments have waiting periods or mutual obligation requirements. Check the relevant payment page at servicesaustralia.gov.au and use its payment finder or contact Services Australia for guidance based on your situation.
