Use myGov to register intent for Centrelink NOW
March 26, 2020
If you can't get through to Centrelink or aren't ready to lodge your full application, do this instead
Centrelink introduced a new function which allows you to log in to MyGov
and register your intent to claim.
The only information you need for this is a MyGov login, which you may already have if you use the portal to access the tax office or Medicare.
Your payments will be backdated to the date you lodged your intent to claim — even if it takes you a few days to get your application done.
