Centrelink and Medicare while on the road.
« on: April 15, 2015, 10:22:50 AM »
This one is for those who are required to keep in contact with Centrelink or Medicare while traveling.

How do you do it these days? Do you use online services or wait till you get to a regional centre. It seems a lot of us are online these days, but how easy is it to access.

Can anyone help me with info?

Yes, Medicare and Centrelink will be able to advise you.  I'm sure this is a common issue for them.

If you supply your bank account details to Medicare most places will now process the rebate on your behalf and it goes straight to your account in 2 working days

Centrelink have an app which can allow for letters etc to be sent online rather than paper. Easy as!
