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.

During the COVID-19 crisis we expanded our telephone advice line so that we could help as many people as possible. However, without additional funding we have to scale back this service to two mornings a week from Monday 29 June 2020.

You can still call us on Mondays and Wednesdays 9:30 am - 12:30 pm and also anytime via our website inquiries page.

The Welfare Rights Centre provides legal advice on Centrelink and social security matters to people in NSW.

We provide advice over the phone.
