Supporting documents for your Centrelink claim
When you claim a payment or service, we’ll ask you for some documents to support your claim.
What to report when you report income to Centrelink
We need to know the gross employment income you and your partner get so we can pay you the right amount.
Income test for Family Tax Benefit Part A
The amount of Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Part A you get depends on your family’s income.

You can ask your previous employer to use this form to certify important employment information about you.
