We’ve paused a range of debt raising and recovery activities, including those connected to social security payments, Family Tax Benefit and Child Care Subsidy.
We also won’t ask you to commence repaying money you owe to us unless the debt relates to fraud or serious non-compliance.
This means that during these difficult times you can focus on your personal situation.
The pause will go for an initial period of 6 months, until October 2020 at this stage.
We won’t pause debt related activity connected to fraud or serious non-compliance.
Next steps
We won’t pause your debt repayments if you already have a payment arrangement in place. You can keep paying off your debt as normal; you don’t need to do anything. If you need to reduce or stop your repayments for a period, call us on the Centrelink debt line.
