Centrelink Payment Schedule 2025 : Dates for All Payments and Bonus

Centrelink Payment Schedule 2025 : Dates for All Payments and Bonus

We would like to inform all Centrelink beneficiaries of changes to reporting and payment schedules due to the upcoming Australia Day public holiday on Monday, 27 January 2025. Please carefully review this notice to understand how these adjustments may impact your payments and reporting obligations.

Service Centre Closures

In observance of the Australia Day public holiday, all Service Centres and most call centres will be closed on Monday, 27 January 2025. Although our physical locations will be unavailable during this time, our online services will remain operational through your Centrelink online account.

During this period, you can also access services for credit card, loan repayments, bills, mortgages, and loans via the Centrelink app.

Reporting Requirements and Modified Schedules

If you are required to submit regular reports, please be aware that your reporting dates may be adjusted to accommodate the holiday closure. You can view your updated reporting schedule by logging into your Centrelink online account, which will reflect the modified reporting dates for the Australia Day period.

Early Reporting Guidelines

For those submitting early reports due to the holiday schedule, ensure you report your anticipated earnings for the entire reporting period. If any corrections need to be made to the information you’ve reported, you have a 14-day window to do so or you can make the adjustments in your next report.

Alternative Reporting Options

If you are unsure of your employment income or anticipate changes during the reporting period, you have the option to report after your scheduled period. However, please note that payments will only be processed once your report has been submitted.

Payment Processing During the Holiday Period

For beneficiaries who do not need to submit reports, payments may be processed earlier than usual. These early payments will reflect your regular payment amount, but they will be distributed ahead of the normal schedule. We recommend budgeting carefully to ensure the early payment lasts until your next scheduled payment date.

Modified Payment Schedule for Allowances

The following payment schedule changes apply to various allowances such as Austudy, Farm Household Allowance, JobSeeker Payment, Special Benefit, Status Resolution Support Services Payment, and Youth Allowance:

  • Original date 23 January 2025 is moved to 22 January 2025
  • Original date 24 January 2025 is moved to 23 January 2025
  • Original date 27 January 2025 is moved to 24 January 2025

Pension Payment Adjustments

For pension recipients, including Age Pension, Disability Support Pension, Carer Payment, and various family payments, the following schedule changes apply:

  • Payments due on 27 January 2025 will be processed on 24 January 2025
  • Subsequent payment dates will resume their usual schedule

Online Access and Support

During the holiday closure, beneficiaries can still access their Centrelink online account via myGov. Through this platform, you can:

  • View upcoming reporting dates
  • Submit income reports
  • Check payment schedules
  • Update personal details

If you don’t already have online access, we strongly encourage setting up a myGov account and linking it to your Centrelink services to ensure uninterrupted access to these important features.

Key Actions

Please take note of the modified schedules and adjust your financial planning accordingly. If you have any questions or need additional clarification, please consult your online account or contact our service centre before the holiday closure.

We remind you to maintain accurate records of your income and report any changes in circumstances promptly to avoid payment delays. Your cooperation in following these adjusted schedules helps ensure the smooth processing of payments during the holiday period.
