When to report

If you’re getting an income support payment, we’ll tell you when you need to report any other income you get.

If your Centrelink online account is linked to myGov, sign in to view your reporting dates 12 weeks in advance.

You can also use the Express Plus Centrelink mobile app.

If you report late, your payment could be late. If you don’t report and you’re meant to, we won’t pay you.

You can report online up to 13 days after your reporting date. If you’re more than 13 days late, you need to call us on your regular payment line. There are 2 types of reporting:

  • scheduled reporting
  • unscheduled reporting.

If your Centrelink online account is linked to myGov you can tell us when you start working online if you get one of these payments:

  • ABSTUDY Living Allowance
  • Age Pension

  • Carer Payment
  • Parenting Payment Single and Partnered
