How to claim
How to claim varies if you’re a new or existing customer.
If you’re already getting an income support payment
You don’t need to do anything. We’ll pay you automatically.
If you’re not already getting a payment and need to claim
If you claim 1 of the eligible payments and we approve your claim, you’ll also get the supplement. You can claim online through myGov using a Centrelink online account, or phone us.
