I have been trying to get on, on my computer, but no luck either.

Post Age pension     
Reply with quote

I'm 66 and have applied for the pension after 50 years of paying tax. I'm frightened of dying of old age before receiving it as it will take years before they answer the phone. I'm also fearful of never speaking to another HUMAN being on the phone. On one previous occasion I phoned the complaint line no one ever answered it.

Post inhumane services from centrelink     
Reply with quote

I agree with all of the above.. Social Services are completely inadequate; simple application and enquiry process is near impossible to navigate; numbers are always busy; finding an actual "Service Officer" via telephone is like winning the lottery...

it appears that the automated messages and music are deliberately designed to either drive people insane or cause them to give up altogether. With the current Public ?Health system, Centrelink, Department of Child Safety, and local Councils, the state government is failing in every area to meet the needs of the community.

Post Goverment employement     
Reply with quote

Under government employment rules the public can demand the bureaucrats in charge of AI automated answering services face instant dismissal including all subcontractors as they have failed in their "duty of care" i.e the reason they have a job. It is the sole rule that a government employee's has always been subject to . Subcontractors can then be sued for the return of payments that have been made. The idea of automated services is good, but it should be properly tested, and not by the public, but by a testing service.

Post Down for maintenance     
Reply with quote

How am I supposed to be able to report my income when everything is down for maintenance? Can't go online, can't call anyone, can't even get my CRN off my account while its down. Centrelink never had a reputation for being easy to work with, but making it literally impossible to do the things they tell me I legally have to do, is ridiculous. Surely they can keep a call centre open for people trying to make reports. Sure it was due Friday and I forgot about it till Saturday, and fine that's on me. But them being down until Monday morning is on them. Never had much of a problem with Centrelink before, they're frustrating at times but it's usually for a reason that I can fix relatively easily. But this is a problem that is out of my hands yet I'm still going to be the one that has to suffer the consequences. I've got study bills and rent to pay that I'm not going to be able to do.

I have been trying to contact centerlink all morning using several numbers to find out some "very"basic information for taxation purposes (which is not covered anywhere in the information on the humnaservices website) only to be re-directed back to the website or just cut off with a final automated thankyou/goodbye message and hangup... Apalling customer service from a federal government organization, and it just seems to get worse every year... Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Post Abysmal way to treat older (or any) Australians     
Reply with quote

I am a 69 year old man trying to get through to Centerlink. It seems virtually impossible. I have rang so many numbers. Everything is hidden so that we cannot get any service.

I never thought that I would be treated like this. It is disgusting and also soul destroying. Why treat us like this? I hate conspiracy theories but the only conclusion is that the want us to give up in sobbing despair!

Post Update Circumstances     
Reply with quote

How can you update? Centrelink website is always off line and we can't update.
We tried calling the past few days yet no one ever answer the phone, after 1.20 min we gave up.
So how can we update? We don't want to be getting over payment but we cannot get through to Centrelink as no one answer the phone and website is always off line. Any ideas?

Post Which number to use to speak to a human at Centrelink/MyGov     
Reply with quote

Use the 132 307 number, it seems to be the only one that has the option to speak to an actual human. You can choose whether MyGov or Centrelink when it answers. Good luck everyone. Cool







Customer??!

Plumbing new depths in non-service. First a machine talks at me but give no answers. Then I am transferred to an other machine that goes through the same no-answer rubbish, but finally put on to a PERSON who tells me I have come through to the wrong place and so transfers me to recorded music. Another day wasted trying to get information from Eutopia.

Post Centrelink split and reform to improve government services     
Reply with quote

Centrelink and all similar government services are clearly not meeting people's demands and expectations. I suggest splitting these services to 2 parts: Labor Centrelink and LNP Centrelink (Liberal+National Coalition). I would not mind if all registered political parties get the same rights and obligations as the two main parties. Customers should elect where they want to enrol. Funding should be split on an equal per capita basis. Let them compete for customers rather than to use their current monopolistic position.
The same split should apply to all government services as it already apply for some other services (electricity, gas, transportation, early education, etc.)
The present situation is unbearable. Labor politicians blame LNP politicians, and vice versa. The only reasonable answer is to allow customers to vote with their feet as there is no motivation for government bureaucrats to self-improve.

Post Epitomy of irony     
Reply with quote

What is the point of a phone line that you can't even call. I have been trying for weeks to contact centrelink to get a number so I can sign up to a job search agency. Without this number I can not get assistance for finding a job. It is clear centrelink is actually trying to create a larger clientel for itself by stopping people getting jobs. As it is impossible to get a reasonable response from a answering machine and yet there is no-one who can help. This process has been made as stressful as possible and is clearly designed to stop people who need help getting help. I used to pay taxes, no more, no job, no point.
No, you do not need the smiling emoticons on this site, never to be used

Post Automated system     
Reply with quote

This is a nonsical set up !!!

Trying to ascertain if my mothers senior card has been sent in mail so she can book optometrist.All I need was as yes or no response in case she had lost/misplaced it

Please get a real person to talk too. Who has time to waste trying rationalise with an automated system that gets you frustrated and back to square one.

WFTAM ( Waste of time and money ) as far as I can see

Like to see the people that implemented this system try and navigate this Alice in Wonderland , rabbit hole farce.
