Managing appointments

Customers can manage existing Services Australia appointments in their Centrelink online account or Express Plus Centrelink mobile app using the standalone Manage appointments service. They can:

  • view upcoming appointments, including important information about their appointment
  • reschedule eligible appointments
  • cancel eligible appointments

Customers can also book their own:

  • short (15 minute) phone appointment
  • medium (30 minute) face to face appointment at their chosen service centre

Some customers are given the option to book an appointment online when:

  • the service does not allow them to continue with an update, and
  • they are told to contact the agency

A link to the Manage appointments service is included in some digital services, where customers are told to book an appointment for a certain circumstance. When they select the link, they are taken to the service to book an appointment. Customers are advised to book an appointment and why in these services:

  • Update address, accommodation or contact details, when a customer's partner is not moving with them
  • Confirm address task, after a customer updates their address using the Update contact details service in myGov, and their partner is not moving with them
  • Update relationship details, when the customer's partner has passed away
  • Update personal and interpreter details, when a legal name or date of birth evidence is required

Customers will not be able to book an appointment if they:

  • already have a future general appointment booked, or
