Description

Centrelink was created in 1997 to provide exceptional service to the community by removing the complexity for Australians accessing government services. Centrelink operates under the purchaser/provider principle; that is, policy departments pay Centrelink to deliver services on their behalf through contractual arrangements.

Centrelink distributes over $51 billion worth of payments each year through over 140 products and services to around 6.3 million customers on behalf of 20 Commonwealth and State Government departments. Since 1997, both the number of client agencies and the number of products and services provided through Centrelink has doubled.

In 2000-01 Centrelink employed around 24 360 staff, making it one of the largest employers in the Australian Public Service. Centrelink is accessible through an extensive network of over 1000 customer service delivery points covering all states and territories and many rural and isolated centres.
