I've got a Centrelink debt. What can I do?

General information from Lawmateanz

Ask Centrelink for an explanation of how the debt was calculated.

You can request a review if you think it's wrong, and ask for a repayment arrangement you can afford.

Debts can sometimes be waived in special circumstances.

Welfare rights centres and the National Debt Helpline can help.
