How do I apply for a Low Income Health Care Card through Centrelink?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

You can apply online through your myGov account linked to Centrelink by selecting “Make a claim” and then choosing the concession card option. You’ll need to provide information about your identity, income and circumstances, along with any supporting documents Services Australia requests. If you cannot claim online, contact Centrelink or visit a service centre for help with the application. Services Australia will assess your claim against the current income test, so check the eligibility rules and income limits at servicesaustralia.gov.au before applying.
