Encourage your community to check their bank details are up to date

Published: 8 September 2026

If we don’t have the right bank details, people in your community might not get their payments on time.

We pay Centrelink and Child Support payments and Medicare benefits straight to bank accounts.

It’s important people check their bank account details are correct, so their payment goes to the right place. They can add, delete or change their bank details at any time online.

If they don’t have a bank account, encourage them to get one. This will make getting their payments from us faster and more secure.

They can use our online guides to help with updating banking details for Centrelink, Medicare and Child Support.
