Centrelink eligibility in Melbourne is generally based on the same Australian rules as elsewhere, including your age, residency, income, assets, work status and family circumstances. You may be able to claim payments such as JobSeeker, Family Tax Benefit, Rent Assistance or the Age Pension, depending on your situation. Services Australia makes the final decision after assessing your claim and supporting documents. Check the payment rules and claim options at servicesaustralia.gov.au or contact Services Australia if you need help understanding your circumstances.
