We need to know when your Commonwealth Prac Payment starts so we can check if it affects your income support payment.
We count your Commonwealth Prac Payment (CPP) as income when we work out your income support payment. This means your payment rate may change.
If you don’t tell us about your CPP, you may get the wrong payment amount and end up with a debt you have to pay back.
To tell us, go to myGov and access your Centrelink online account. You should also include your CPP in your tax return.
