To apply for a Centrelink payment, sign in to myGov, link a Centrelink account and submit the relevant claim through Services Australia. If your claim is approved, your reporting dates and tasks should appear in your Centrelink online account or the Express Plus Centrelink app. Report your income and any other required details by the due date, including a nil report if you had no income. Missing a report can delay your payment, so contact Services Australia or check servicesaustralia.gov.au if you need help or cannot report online.
