What should I include in my Centrelink report and what happens if I miss the reporting date?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Most Centrelink recipients need to report by the due date shown in their online account or the Express Plus Centrelink app, including employment income, hours worked and any requested changes in circumstances. You may still need to submit a report when your income is nil. Missing a report can delay or suspend a payment, although Services Australia may consider your explanation and circumstances. Check your reporting instructions and payment details through myGov or servicesaustralia.gov.au, or contact Services Australia if you are unsure what to report.
