Centrelink Confirmation eServices for Businesses
Centrelink Confirmation eServices (CCeS) is a secure online service that provides an efficient and effective method for businesses to confirm a customer’s entitlement to a concession, rebate or service it provides. Businesses can use the service to do all of the following:
- confirm a customer’s details such as name, address, payment type and concession card status
- provide details on income, asset and payment details
- confirm if a customer is eligible for early release of superannuation in the event of financial hardship.
Businesses must obtain customer consent before accessing any customer information via CCeS. Customers can give their consent to businesses in writing, online or verbally.
