When to verify your address and accommodation details for Rent Assistance

Published: 12 March 2026

If you get Rent Assistance you should verify your address and accommodation details within 14 days if there’s a change.

We need you to verify your address and accommodation details for Rent Assistance whenever they change so we pay you the right amount. This includes:

  • your address
  • what kind of accommodation you’re living in
  • the rent amount.

To verify your address and accommodation details you’ll need to give us a copy of your Tenancy Agreement or Rent Certificate.

If you have a Centrepay deduction for your accommodation and you move you’ll need to update or cancel it separately.
