From the 'For what its worth' department:
Back in 'the good old days' of May 2011 to May 2012, when I was traveling overseas for 13 weeks at a time, I never gave C/L International an overseas address.
When I was 'pinged' for residency in May 2012 and because I returned overseas to an address I had given them until my return in August 2012 my Centrelink online address details were changed by them to show my home address as being that overseas address.
Once I was granted Unlimited Portability and prior to departing I advised C/L international of my new Australian address, which they updated immeadiately, and told them I would advise my overseas contact details once I had found a place.
Early in September, and within the 14 days notification of change of details period, I emailed to C/LI a copy of a letter to advise them that the Australian address could still be used for any postal communication and advising them of the overseas address and contact phone number for where I am staying here.
It took them some weeks to update the online details but it has now been done in what I find an interesting manner.
Unlike when I was 'pinged' for residency in May 2012 when they showed my 'Address type - Home' as being overseas they now show my 'Address type - Home' as the Australian address and I now have an 'Address type - Temporary' which is the overseas residence!
Go figure?!
