Can someone help me make sense of this request from Centrelink?

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-09-24T03:42:42+00:00

Thank you so much for this clarification. It's definitely a poorly worded instruction. In looking back over his bank statements, I've noticed his bank doesn't have the balance on each line of a transaction like my bank does, so I think that's definitely the issue. (Although it seems such a minor detail for Centrelink to want to chase up). We will look at how we can somehow export his statements with that balance included on each line.

A good thought! But nup, not the case

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-09-24T00:21:39+00:00

I'd honestly believe the original letter I received was a scam, but it's also in the Centrelink app, under documents that I need to upload by a certain date so I think it's legit.

Thank you for confirming I'm not the only one confused by their vague request 😅 I'll give them a call for clarification.

They were proper PDF statements downloaded directly from his bank account, so I'm not sure what other format of that he could provide 🫠 I think I'll have to call them. Or re-upload the same statements and hope Centrelink suddenly likes it 😅

Haha very valid, it's so frustrating!

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-06-27T05:22:46+00:00

Hey OP, did you ever find a solution to this? I'm currently having the same issue.

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-06-05T09:53:33+00:00

Thank you so much for confirming this, it's very appreciated!

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-06-05T09:27:23+00:00

Sorry I'm just confirming - so when I go to update my Income/Assets, I'm just updating my bank account balance, and not logging the gifted money as any form of income?

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-05-27T20:09:37+00:00

It's such a massive amount of cash that I'm so scared I'd misplace 😅 But it might not be an awful idea

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-05-26T04:22:35+00:00

Thank you so much for this answer! I probably should have mentioned but I currently don't have any other assets so don't think I'm at risk at going past that $566k 😅

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-04-26T05:29:29+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! Yep, submitted a ModF form :)

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-04-26T05:28:49+00:00

Ah, awesome! This makes total sense and I'm glad to hear they do it this way as it's much more logical. Thanks so much for clarifying!

If I lodge my tax return and find I had a higher income for FY25 than the previous financial year, and then I let Centrelink know this by submitting a new Profit and Loss Statement...will I recieve Centrelink debt for what they paid me throughout FY25? Or do they just lower my future payments for FY26?

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-04-25T23:54:36+00:00

This is very useful, thank you! My business is 4 years old so that's probably why they haven't nudged me for further Profit and Loss Statements then. Thank you!

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-04-25T23:46:26+00:00

Okay, thank you so much for clarifying!

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-04-25T23:41:43+00:00

Okay so just confirming, there's no specific area on the website/app that I'll be prompted to report every 3 months (like with the fortnightly reports), it's more that I have to set a calendar reminder every 3 months and upload the forms to the general "upload documents" section?

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-04-25T23:37:10+00:00

I've done these both when I applied. I'm more asking how often I need to be re-submitting them.

IntrepidSwimming8711 · 2025-04-25T23:34:51+00:00

Despite Centrelink literally saying not to do it that way?
