Centrelink payments have different eligibility rules, including requirements about your age, residency, income, assets and personal circumstances. You may need to provide identity documents, report income regularly and meet waiting or mutual-obligation requirements, depending on the payment. Tell Services Australia promptly about changes such as starting work, moving house, receiving an inheritance or changes to your relationship status, as these can affect your entitlement. Check the relevant payment on servicesaustralia.gov.au or speak with Services Australia to confirm how the rules apply to you.
