Hi @Koha, welcome to SANE 🙂 It's great to see you here!

Hoping that @Shaz51's post has been helpful and provides you the answers you were looking for.

I am wondering if you were to explore this further, would you consider looking into centrelink's payment processes, inclusion and exclusion criteria?

Look foward to hearing from you 🙂
