From 12 June 2025, the minimum amount you can repay to us at Australia Post will increase to $5.

You’ll only be able to make a debt repayment over the counter at Australia Post if the amount is $5 or more.

This applies to transactions made through Australia Post using any of the following:

  • cash payments
  • cheque
  • credit card
  • EFTPOS.

There’s no change to the minimum amounts you can repay using:

  • Direct debits, Visa and Mastercard payments through Money you owe in your Centrelink online account.
  • BPAY
