Re: Why is Centrelink so awful? (Unanswerable question)
Maybe I have just been lucky with Centrelink, but the times I've had dealings with them it's been relatively quick and helpful.

Sometimes the system can feel frustrating. i have been on both sides of it and do understand the frustration of not understanding how little room low level government workers have for special requests or if asked to do something "not on their JDF".

Why would you find the breaching of people too often without reason interesting? You do appear to be sadistic personality type deep down. Only the well heeled deserve consideration when faced with accountability but never truly held to account. A sad world indeed.

Us too. Only issue I've had with them was when my eldest tried to renew her Medical Concession Card. In the previous year she earned $5 more than the limit so was refused and had to pay for her Epilepsy meds which are not cheap. Obviously there has to be a cut off but it was just a bit frustrating.
sorry wasn’t thinking have googled it. |
Re: Why is Centrelink so awful? (Unanswerable question)
Centrelink are shockingly inefficient. I don't have a problem with the amount of detailed information you need to provide, but I do have a problem when they continually say they haven't received this, that or the other when you know you've provided it, your online account says you've provided it, and the case officer you've seen also says you've provided it.
This happened last year when my husband applied for his partial Oz age pension. We provided 32 pages of documents including bank statements, tax documents, investment documents blah blah blah. Then we provided them again, and again, and again (yes, 4 times). The process is supposed to take 8 weeks. It took 6 months. |

I asked for evidence of what you claim. If you made that statement up it's fine to retract it. We all make errors. No need for the name calling.
