Centrelink contributes to the social and economic outcomes set by government by delivering services to assist people to become self-sufficient and supporting those in need.

Centrelink can help you with finding a job, arrange for recognition of your skills and qualifications, and to access certain courses.  Centrelink can also help you with Family Assistance payments to help with the cost of raising children.

As a newly arrived migrant Centrelink cannot help you with social security (unless you are a refugee or humanitarian entrant). You may not have access to the full range of government employment services. If you are a permanent resident, you may be eligible to access some services.
