Public holiday reporting and payment dates
Your reporting and payment dates may change when we close for national public holidays.
Office closures
We close for national public holidays.
Your reporting dates may change when we’re closed.
We close during the following national holidays:
- Australia Day
- Easter
- Anzac
- Christmas
- New Year.
Your reporting and payment dates may change during these closures. We’ll show these just before the national holiday to help you plan ahead.
For closures on state public holidays, please check at your local service centre.
How you can report during holiday closures
You can use your Centrelink online account through myGov to do any of the following:
- report your income
- view your reporting dates for the next 12 weeks
- change some of your appointments
- apply for an advance payment
- request a document.
If you don’t have one, you can create a myGov account.
You can also use our Express Plus mobile apps and phone self service.
You can still report your income to us, even when we’re closed. However, if you do this on a public holiday we’ll pay you after the public holiday.
Read our self service options.
