The Centrelink Master Program, or more commonly known as Centrelink, is a Services Australia master program[2] of the Australian Government. It delivers a range of government payments and services for retirees, the unemployed, families, carers, parents, people with disabilities, Indigenous Australians, students, apprentices and people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and provides services at times of major change.[3] The majority of Centrelink's services are the disbursement of social security payments.
