In response to my questions in my previous post, I received this message from Scott from the Australian Government Department of Human Services. I posted it here verbatim for the information of all...
" Hi there! I'm Scott and I work at the Australian Government Department of Human Services in a team responding to enquiries about our services, on social media sites like this one.
Centrelink, Medicare and Child Support are all services offered by the Department of Human Services. Our website has a lot of information for new arrivals to Australia that will answer most of your questions. You can find it at
http://www.humanservices.gov.au/customer/subjects/new-arrivals-to-australia .
If you would like to discuss Centrelink payments and services, you can find contact details at humanservices.gov.au/contact. We will be able to discuss your personal circumstances and the Centrelink payments and services you may be eligible to receive.
You can read about Medicare eligibility here: http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/public/register/eligibility.jsp and what is covered by Medicare here: http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/public/claims/what-cover.jsp. If you would like to contact someone about services offered by Medicare, you can find the most convenient way for you at http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/about/contact.jsp.
It’s also worth noting that we offer Online Services for people who want to manage their own business with the department online. You can read about Online Services and how to register at humanservices.gov.au/onlineservices.
I wish you all the best! "
Cheers Mate!
