COVID-19 Announcement

The Welfare Rights Centre is experiencing unprecedented demand due to the large number of people trying to access a Centrelink payment. Although our physical office is closed, we're open and we're here to help.

We're opening our advice line on Tuesday mornings, in addition to Monday and Wednesday mornings.  If we need to, and we have the resources, we'll open our advice line on other mornings, too.

Please call us on the numbers below if your claim was rejected.
