What are some practical rent assistance tips for Centrelink recipients?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Check whether your Centrelink payment can include Commonwealth Rent Assistance and keep your lease, rent receipts or other proof of housing costs up to date. Tell Services Australia promptly if your rent, address, household or share-house arrangements change, as these details can affect an assessment. Make sure your rent information is recorded correctly in myGov and review your payment details after reporting a change. Eligibility and the amount payable depend on your circumstances, so check the latest guidance at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
