What Centrelink payments can I apply for in Melbourne?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

People living in Melbourne may be able to claim payments such as JobSeeker, Family Tax Benefit, Parenting Payment, Carer Payment or the Age Pension, depending on their circumstances. Centrelink eligibility is generally based on factors including residence, income, assets, age, family situation and work or study requirements, rather than the Melbourne postcode itself. Use the Services Australia Payment Finder and check the relevant payment page to see what may apply. Services Australia makes the final assessment after you submit supporting information.
