What type of Centrelink benefits are available to newly arrived refugees?
Centrelink has a wide range of payments and services, and the ones granted will depend on your client’s circumstances. We have payments for people who are retired, looking for work, studying, sick or have a disability, caring for someone, raising a family, and those who are widowed or sole parents. Payments and benefits will vary for each customer. Your client may also be eligible for a Crisis payment for humanitarian entrants payment. This is a one-off payment equal to 1 week of their primary income support payment, excluding add-ons.
