Partner details form (AUS174)
Use this form to give us information about your partner if you are living outside Australia.
Rural customers and primary producers
Some rural properties and farms have more than one title or larger blocks than residential properties. The asset test rules are different for these properties.
Funeral bonds and prepaid funerals
Funeral costs you pay for in advance normally don’t count in your assets test for payments from us. There are some exceptions.
When to report your income to Centrelink
If you’re getting an income support payment, we’ll tell you when you need to report any other income you get.
What gifts we include in income and assets tests
We may include your gift if you give away, sell or transfer it for less than its market value.
Income and assets test for Special Benefit
We use income and assets tests to check if you can get Special Benefit. We also use these to work out how much you can get.
How we assess granny flat interests
You need to tell us the value of the granny flat interest so we can assess if this affects your payments.
Income from employment
If you or your partner get income from employment you need to tell us. This is so we can pay you the right amount.
Scheduled reporting
If you need to report your employment income, it’ll usually be every 14 days, on a date we tell you. We call this scheduled reporting.
Business structures
Your business structure may affect your and your partner’s payments from us.
