Centrepay set-up (SA501)

Setting up your Centrepay payment. You complete and sign the paper SA501 Centrepay deduction authority yourself. A Drive Blue or partner organisation worker can help you fill it in — but you must sign it yourself.

Print the form first, then work down this page. Each step below tells you exactly what to write on it. Once you have signed it, Drive Blue uses your SA501 to set up your Centrepay deduction and keeps a copy for your record. You can also set this up yourself any time through your Centrelink online account via myGov.

Read the Centrepay Customer Deduction Guide

Services Australia asks every customer to read this guide before filling in and signing the SA501. It explains, in plain language, how Centrepay works, that deductions are your choice, and how to change or stop them at any time.

Please confirm you have read or received the guide before you continue.
