Rent Assistance is usually assessed as part of an eligible Centrelink payment, rather than through a separate claim. Update your accommodation and rent details in your myGov account linked to Centrelink, or contact Services Australia if you need help. You may be asked for a lease, rent certificate or other evidence showing your address, rent amount and who you share the home with. Services Australia decides eligibility and the payment amount based on your circumstances, so check the current requirements at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
