Change of circumstances

What to tell us

You need to tell us if any of the following things happen:

• you change or correct your name
• your personal and contact details change
• your bank details change
• you leave the country, temporarily or to live somewhere else
• your child changes school or lives with someone else.

You need to tell us about a change in your circumstances within 14 days. If you don’t, we may pay you too much. This means you’ll have debt you need to pay back.

How to tell us

For changes to your circumstances you can tell us by calling the ABSTUDY line.

Changing or correcting your name

It’s important to tell us if you change your legal name.
