centrelink question for spouse
Hello,I have a question relating to centerlink payments.My partner is currently one yr into his spouse/defacto visa,he is currently only on the temp visa.
My question is when the visa becomes permanet is he entitled to any help from centrelink.I am on disability pension and he is currently on a uk pension.I am going to be contacting centrelink but due to the floods and cyclone here is qld its very hard to get in contact with them,and id like to keep the lines open for the floods and cylone victims.I am really after some kind of information for the future. thanks for your time.....

Re: centrelink question for spouse
hello,thanks for your quick reply.I am just on centrelink now having a look some if it is confusing lol.But yeah we are in no rush at this stage.What u said about salary,we both dont earn as we are each on pensions,so do u think that would help as there would be no earnings or income test.
thanks once again

Re: centrelink question for spouse
He is on the Temporary Spouse visa, which leads to PR after 2 years. Its not the 461 NZ-related visa.
