If you haven’t yet discovered Online Services at the Family Assistance site, it is well worth the effort to register. Save yourself the time and frustration of queuing up at Centrelink for simple matters.
After a secure login, you are able to view and update your information aswell as access payment history, apply for certain benefits and view the important correspondence your dog ate.
Registering is relatively simple and you only have to do it the one time. Goodness knows, it has to be less painful than standing in a line trailing out the door for 2 hours just to notify a stressed-out public servant that your child has changed preschools!
Check out the Family Assistance site to get the ball rolling. I promise you’ll be glad you did.
