What Centrelink payments can I apply for in Perth and how do I check what I may be eligible for?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Centrelink payments available in Perth generally include JobSeeker Payment, the Age Pension, Family Tax Benefit, Parenting Payment and Rent Assistance, depending on your circumstances. Eligibility can depend on your income, assets, age, residency, relationship status, work capacity and housing arrangements, and Rent Assistance is usually assessed with another eligible payment. You can use the payment finder and online services at servicesaustralia.gov.au to review options and lodge a claim. Services Australia makes the final decision after assessing your information, so keep documents such as identity, income and rent details available.
