What documents do I need for a low income health care card application?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

For a Low Income Health Care Card application, have your identity details, Tax File Number, Medicare details, bank account information and current income details ready. You may need evidence such as payslips, employer information, Centrelink payment details or other documents about income for you and your partner. Include relevant details for any dependent children, and make sure your information is up to date in myGov if you apply online. Services Australia assesses eligibility and may request further evidence, so check the official checklist at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
