Do your Centrelink business with Express Plus Students - simple, fast, mobile.

The Australian Government’s Express Plus Students app helps students and Australian Apprentices report their income and changes in circumstances to Centrelink. No need to visit an office or wait on the phone!

Students and Australian Apprentices can check the amount of their next Youth Allowance, Austudy or ABSTUDY payment, report their income, apply for an advance payment, and notify Centrelink of changes to their study load.
