What Centrelink payments might I be able to claim in Canberra?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

People living in Canberra may be able to claim payments such as JobSeeker, Parenting Payment, Family Tax Benefit, Carer Payment or the Age Pension, depending on their circumstances. Services Australia considers factors including your age, income, assets, residency, work capacity and family situation, so living in Canberra alone does not determine eligibility. You can use the Services Australia Payment and Service Finder or your myGov account to check options and make a claim. You may also qualify for separate ACT concessions, which are assessed under different rules.
