Payments and services during coronavirus
If you’re a new or current customer affected by COVID-19 we have payments that can help you. We also have support if you can’t come into a service centre.
If you need a payment and aren't already getting one from us, we may be able to help. Eligibility and waiting periods for some payments have been temporarily adjusted during COVID-19. Use our guide to check what you can get. You can also read more about changes to payment rules.
If you already get a payment from us, you may be able to get the Coronavirus Supplement. You’ll get it as long as you get $1 of an eligible income support payment. You don’t have to do anything. We’ll pay this as part of your normal payment. Read more about how the Coronavirus Supplement may be extending.
If you get JobKeeper payment and a payment from us, you’ll need to report your income. Read more about JobKeeper Payment.
Keep in mind, we can support you if you’re affected by family and domestic violence. We can help with information, resources and referrals.
Check local COVID-19 restrictions about wearing a face mask before you enter our service centres.
