We have information in different languages about Public holiday reporting and payment dates
For Centrelink payments and services, you can call our multilingual phone service.
Call the Centrelink Indigenous Call Centre to speak to us about Centrelink payments and services for free.
To help you plan ahead, we share the changes to reporting and payment dates in the lead up to national public holidays.
This means your reporting or payment dates may be different to what they’d usually be.
We’re closed for the following national holidays:
- New Year’s Day
- Australia Day
- Good Friday
- Easter Monday
- Anzac Day
- Christmas Day
- Boxing Day.
You can still report your income to us when we’re closed. However, if you do this on a national public holiday we’ll pay you after the national public holiday.
Using self service to report during holiday closures
Our service centres, agents and access points and call centres are closed on national public holidays.
You can still use self service during this time.
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.
