What do I need for a Low Income Health Care Card application?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Your checklist should include a myGov account linked to Centrelink, proof of identity, your tax file number, bank account details and details for your partner or dependent children. Have evidence of your and your partner’s gross income for the relevant eight-week period, such as payslips, employer records or business income documents. Services Australia may request extra information, and eligibility depends on its income test and your circumstances. You can apply through myGov or check the current requirements at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
