  2. How to Apply for an Advance Payment?

Should I get a Centrelink Advance Payment instead of a loan? Yes. If you don’t already have an Advance Payment from Centrelink, and qualify, this is a superior option as it is a nil cost loan. If you use a lender such as Cash Direct, you will have loan costs such as loan fees or interest expense. So the Advance Payment from Centrelink is a useful personal budget tool to use if you qualify.

If you already have an Advance Payment from Centrelink or need some extra funds, a small loan from Cash Direct can be helpful if your budget can support the extra loan. If you earn > 50% of your income from Centrelink benefits, we will ensure your total loan payments do not exceed 10% of your income.
