Want to know more about access to Centrelink for migrants and other newly arrived residents?

Australia’s social security system has strict residency criteria. Payments are usually available only to Australian residents, with most migrants subject to a Newly Arrived Resident’s Waiting Period (NARWP) or other qualifying residency period. People from New Zealand who have lived in Australia for many years can be particularly harshly affected.

Our free webinar takes participants through a checklist to assess a client’s eligibility. Speakers cover key issues including residency criteria, waiting periods, Special Benefit, domestic and family violence, the impact of overseas assets and income, and a whole lot more.⠀⠀

We explain the specific circumstances that may enable access to Special Benefit or other payments, and address the possible extension of the Newly Arrived Resident’s Waiting Period rules.

Target audience: Community workers and volunteers, social workers and lawyers
