Hi briche. If you have a MyGov account you can link all Government Depts such as Medicare, ATO, Centrelink. When they send you a letter it is sent electronically to your inbox and you receive an SMS advising you of the letter. I am not on a pension but I saw that you could do that when I opened my MyGov account.

I understand that Centrelink also has an app you can download that does the same.

Centrelink will not correspond by email if you are in Australia.
When we volunteered in Fiji for 2 years, they would.
Cheers,

All our correspondence from Centrelink is by email. You won't have any worries if you do as Dmaxer suggests, we have.

They send me an email saying I have a message in MyGov.

That is not 2 way email correspondence. You MUST go via MyGov. Is that correct?

We do not have a MyGov account. All correspondence from Centrelink is via snail mail in Oz. In Fiji we had 2 way email correspondence with them.

Cheers,

As Dmaxer said. We have a MyGov account which is linked to Medicare and the app. Centrelink advise us via email of any notifications which appear in our My Gov account inbox.

Same here. I get a message saying that I have correspondence in MyGov. I have the MyGov app linked in to Centrelink. You can upload documents and other things they want via that app.

Hi Brian and Cheryl, I do everything through MyGov as well However, your actual Pension Card is sent via snail mail to an address your have supplied and that will be the address on your card.

I f claiming rent Assistance at all I go into a Centrelink Office and not rely on MyGov. I like to know it is actually done by speaking with one of the staff.

Has worked that way for me for many moons now. I have no complaints.
