How do I report to Centrelink and what happens if I miss my reporting date?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Most people receiving income support need to report fortnightly through myGov linked to Centrelink or the Express Plus Centrelink app, by the date shown in their account. You may need to report employment income, hours worked and other requested details, even if you had no income. Missing the deadline can delay or suspend a payment until your report is received. If you cannot report on time, contact Services Australia promptly and check your reporting requirements on the official website.
