Gareth 666 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi, Does anyone know how we notify Centrelink, Medicare etc that we've left and are not coming back? (Major windfall might change that!!) I've changed address on Centrelink to no longer having a home address with UK address as postal. Claim withdrawn for payments as well. I can't find anywhere that says 'gone elsewhere'.... Cheers.

Parley Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Why didn't you ring them before you left ? You should ring them now if you are still receiving payments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth 666 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Why didn't you ring them before you left ? You should ring them now if you are still receiving payments.We'd already withdrawn the claim and changed address once our last week rent was paid and therefore no longer in possession of any Aus residential address. In theory we don't actually have an address at present but we've entered our UK address as any post would take that long to get there anyway. I'm mainly trying to find out how you actually notify them you're not just changing address but leaving, probably for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth 666 Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Australian Electoral Commission, you only need to do this if you are a citizen and registered to voteThanks, I'd had a rough stab at the acronym in my head and guess the E might be electoral. I'm not a citizen unfortunately so it's not an issue. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbpom Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 If you have any dealings with MyGov don't forget to keep your Australian mobile number active because to login to your online account they send a validation code to your mobile. Without this code there is no way to login to anything such as Centrelink, ATO, Medicare etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log in (you'll need your mobile if that's what it's currently set for), go to Account Settings and Sign in Options (but make sure you're familiar with your secret questions first and set up new ones if necessary).

That's interesting. I got through to the MyGov help line and they never mentioned the secret questions or gave me the option to reset the Sign In Options. They suggested a mobile app instead but that didn't help because code was still sent to old mobile number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
