David Leask Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hi Jessey，just wondering did you lodge your Aos online through my gov？how did centerlink contact you for payment？through your my gov inbox or by phone？since i have heard anything from them，the estimated completion date has been passedA MyGov account gives you access to a number of government services online e.g. Medicare, Centrelink, ATO. You can access all of these services individually but a MyGov account brings them all together in one place. My daughter lodged her AoS application using her MyGov account. She had to go into the local Centrelink office to verify her identity and once this was done she received an acknowledgment of the application online. The estimated date for completion of the AoS was around 8 weeks from application. At week 12 (4 weeks after their estimated date) my daughter went into the local Centrelink office to get an update. She was advised not to pay too much attention to their estimated date and to be patient. They could see the application and they assured her that it was being dealt with. Around week 15 my daughter received a letter from Centrelink via her MyGov account asking her to lodge the Bond amount with the Commonwealth Bank.I hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseyJ Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 @ielectric Evening, well our daughter in Melbourne lodged her AoS application using her MyGov account. She Visited Centrelink office five weeks ago to prove her identity and this week she had a phone call asking for the AOS payment and details of opening a commonwealth bank account. She Opened the account, made payment. I didn’t know that the bond for the AOS $14000, which if not used, accumulates interest 1.35 p.a. just waiting for letter of acceptance to forward to our agent. Have you heard from them yet? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathss56 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 @JesseyJ sorry see it’s not been accepted yet, but thought the stage of request to pay bond usually takes months ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
