Frequently Asked Questions
While you are registered with Centrelink for income support payments, you need to declare your income to Services Australia each fortnight. You can report using your Centrelink online account, the Express Plus Centrelink mobile app, or you can call the Centrelink Reporting Line.
While you participate in Workforce Australia Services, you may also be required to meet a monthly points requirement. The hours you work can count towards your points requirement, which you can report using your Workforce Australia Online account or by talking to us.
If you need help with this please contact your Employment Coach.
You can stay registered for Centrelink payments or you can choose to exit. This will depend on how comfortable you are that your employment will be ongoing and whether you are earning enough income.
If you stop receiving assistance from Centrelink, you can still access support from us through the Workforce Australia Services program for the first six months on the job.
Exit Centrelink through Workforce Australia Online or by contacting Services Australia. If you need help with this please contact your Employment Coach.
If you are working enough hours to meet your Centrelink requirement to work full-time or part-time, then you may not have any job search requirements.
If you aren’t working enough hours, we can support you with job search or discuss options for increasing work hours with your current employer.
Each person has different job search requirements and we will work with you to ensure that they reflect your situation.
