Short answer

Centrepay is a voluntary and free payment option available to Centrelink customers, who can use it to set up regular deductions from Centrelink payments.

The quickest way to set up or change a Centrepay deduction is through your Centrelink account online – but if you’re an electricity or natural gas customer, we can also set it up for you.
