What should I know before using Centrelink online through myGov?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Centrelink online is accessed through a myGov account linked to Centrelink, allowing you to check payments, update details, report income and submit some claims or documents. You will generally need to verify your identity and keep your myGov sign-in details secure, including by using two-step sign-in where available. Processing times and eligibility depend on your circumstances and are decided by Services Australia. Use only the official my.gov.au and servicesaustralia.gov.au websites, and contact Services Australia if you have trouble linking accounts or completing an online task.
