Notify Relationship Change — Becoming a Couple or Separating
Form number: SA489
Tell Centrelink when you start living with a partner (married or de facto) OR separate from one. Relationship status massively affects most payments — partnered rates are lower, partner income is tested, and some payments only apply to single parents.
