Employment income may affect your payment from us. To make sure we’re paying you the right amount, you need to report your and your partner’s gross employment income.
Your gross income is the amount your employer pays you before tax and other deductions. You can find your gross pay amount on your payslip.
You don’t need to report your or your partner’s income if both of the following apply:
- you get either Age Pension or Disability Support Pension because you’re blind
- you don’t get Rent Assistance.
If your partner is getting a payment from us, they’ll still need to report your income. They won’t need to report if they’re also blind, getting Age Pension or DSP and not getting Rent Assistance.
When you get a payment from us, you need to know:
- what to report
- when to report
- how to report
- what you must do when we pre-fill your information into your report.
You can get reminders to report to make sure you report your employment income.
