Before starting, make sure your myGov account is linked to Centrelink and have identification, your Tax File Number and bank account details available. Depending on the payment, you may also need documents about your income, assets, rent, employment, partner or children. Take clear photos or scans of supporting documents and check that your contact details are up to date. Requirements vary by payment and personal circumstances, so use the checklist shown in your claim and confirm details at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
