Centrelink/DVA Assistance

At Goldsborough, we’ll work with you to ensure you’re receiving the maximum government assistance that you are entitled to – including the Age Pension, Disability Support Pension, Service Pension, and Commonwealth Seniors Health Card (CSHC).

Our aim is to make sure it’s as simple and streamlined as possible for you to apply for and maintain your entitlements.

Having us deal with Centrelink or DVA as an intermediary can remove the stress and confusion from doing it yourself. This package is ideal for elderly clients, or those who find it difficult to access these services in person.

Some of the services we can offer include:

  • helping complete application forms
  • updating Centrelink/DVA with your investment balances at agreed timeframes
  • checking the amount of your Centrelink/DVA benefit is correct
  • corresponding, enquiring and\or instructing Centrelink/DVA on your behalf where appropriate

The fee will depend on the services you require and starts from $550 pa.

To find out more, call our offices or book an appointment with an adviser today.
