Centrelink makes mistakes but there are some Centrelink staff who will ensure that the clients pay for these mistakes. The 6 Week rule is a you beaut legislative requirement that debt be waived if Centrelink makes the mistake and overpayment errors are not discovered for a long period of time. Repayments are capped at any overpayments made IN THE LAST 6 weeks. Terrific! But only if you know about the rule. Viewers are strongly advised to check with the local MP for the latest update on this rule.

  • The law is quite clear on this issue. If Centrelink stuffs up, they have 6 weeks to fix the problem or, BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT, they have to waive the debt. Check out paragraph 1,237A of the Social Security Act. My question too you is, are you one of the Centrelink staff who has been engaging in this fraud and are you now frightened of a criminal investigation? Any Centrelink staff who know about this fraud should blow the whistle by talking the Public Service union's legal officers.

  • mate you're an idiot, if you receive money that you are not entitled to you have to pay it back, the only thing that can be waved is a penalty fee in some cases with admin errors. you are giving people the wrong information. seriously have too much time on your hands clearly on the pension.

  • lololollol omg , i went up there today i was the only young white girl up there omg

  • Some Centrelink staff do not know about the 6 week rule - I have made a copy available which has been used to stop this Centrelink fraud by individuals. Uroboros, are you one of the Centrelink staff who has been engaged in this fraud or are you a person or right wing political beliefs who hates welfare payments? The reality about welfare payments is very simple. Paragraph 51 (xxiiia) of the constitution makes these payments a constitutional right for Aussie Battlers.

  • Hey theres no reason to be like that uroboros

  • You're a fucking idiot and don't know shit about SS admin act. Go hang yourself, arrogant fuck,

  • SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS - Please, pass on the 6 week rule details. Centrelink is trying to recover $3 BILLION that it may not be entitled too!!! Welfare recipients have been conned into paying but those who quote the 6 week rule are often exempted, bregrudgingly, by Centrelink from repaying money that they did not have to repay in the 1st place.

  • Well done providing some information for unemployed people.
