Setting up deductions
Setting up Centrepay deductions is easy.
You can plan and set up Centrepay deductions 8 weeks before they start but the end date cannot be more than 52 weeks after the start date.
The minimum deduction is $10 per fortnight, and they’re made on the same day you get your Centrelink payment.
Deductions cannot start without your permission, which can be given in a number of ways.
To set up and give your permission for Centrepay deductions you can:
use your Centrelink online account via myGov
complete our Centrepay the easy way to pay your bills form (SA325)
visit a service centre and get help from one of our staff
phone us, or
contact the Business directly
Information you need
When setting up Centrepay deductions, you’ll need:
your Centrelink Customer Reference Number (CRN)
the CRN and name of the Business you’re paying, and if available its’ address and phone number. We recommend that you complete a search to find a Business that accepts Centrepay, taking note of their CRN before you begin setting up deductions. Their CRN will always start with 555, and
the details of the bill you’re paying, such as the account or billing number
You’ll also need to decide:
the regular deduction amount to come from your Centrelink payments each fortnight
which Centrelink payment your deductions will come from
a start date for the deduction, and you also have the option to set an end date, or set a target amount for deductions to stop
When you start using Centrepay, we will always notify you of the details of your deduction. We recommend you regularly check your deductions online to make sure your arrangements are correct.
Read our step by step instructions and set up new Centrepay deductions using your Centrelink online account.
