How to manage your payment

You need to report any changes to your circumstances while receiving Double Orphan Pension.

If the amount of time you care for a child changes, this may affect your payments and services.

There are rules about how long we can pay your Double Orphan Pension while outside Australia.

You can have an authorised representative to deal with us on your behalf. You can authorise them to enquire, update, act or get payments for you.

If we pay you too much money you may get a Centrelink debt and have to pay it back.

Do the right thing and avoid committing fraud by keeping your details with us up to date.

You can get help to manage your money if your bank account is overdrawn.
