Applying for a Centrelink payment through Services Australia is generally free, whether you apply online through myGov or contact Centrelink directly. You may still have personal costs, such as internet, phone, travel or obtaining documents needed to support your claim. The payment you receive, if any, depends on your circumstances and Services Australia’s assessment of your eligibility. Check the relevant payment page on servicesaustralia.gov.au for current requirements and application options.
