How to manage your payment

You can change from Newborn Upfront Payment and Newborn Supplement to Parental Leave Pay if you think it's a better option for you.

You need to tell us if your circumstances change when you get Newborn Upfront Payment and Newborn Supplement.

The Family Tax Benefit travel rules affect your Newborn Upfront Payment and Newborn Supplement when you travel outside Australia.

You can use our free and voluntary service to pay bills as regular deductions from your Centrelink payments.

You can ask someone to act for you with Medicare, Centrelink, aged care or Child Support. You can authorise them to speak to us, update your details and get payments for you.
