How does Centrelink reporting work in 2026 and what do I need to report?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

If you receive a payment that requires reporting, Services Australia will show your next reporting date in your myGov account linked to Centrelink or the Express Plus Centrelink app. You may need to report employment income, hours worked and other changes, even if your income was nil. Report by the due date to help avoid delays or interruptions, and update Centrelink if your circumstances change, such as your address, partner status or living arrangements. Your payment is calculated by Services Australia using your individual circumstances, so check the official Services Australia website or contact Centrelink if you are unsure what to report.
