What are Centrelink International Services?

Centrelink International Services handles the day-to-day details of making Social Security payments to over 60 000 customers who are outside Australia for more than 26 weeks (in some cases, more than 13 weeks).

What do Centrelink International Services do?

Centrelink International Services:

• can advise you whether or not your payment from Centrelink can be paid outside Australia
• can advise you whether an International Social Security Agreement may be able to help you claim an Australian pension
• are the central clearing point for processing non-Australian pension claims. If we can't help you claim your pension from another country, we can tell you who can help you.

Centrelink International Services has staff available who can speak a range of languages including Spanish, Italian, Greek, Dutch, Danish, Serbian, Portuguese, French, Macedonian, German, Croatian, Polish and Bosnian.
