How do I apply for a Low Income Health Care Card through Centrelink?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

You can apply for a Low Income Health Care Card online through myGov by linking your Centrelink service, selecting “Make a claim” and choosing the concession card option. You’ll need to provide information about your identity, income and circumstances, and may be asked for supporting documents. If you cannot apply online, contact Services Australia or visit a service centre to ask about other options. Services Australia will assess your application against the current income and eligibility rules, so check servicesaustralia.gov.au for the latest requirements and processing information.
