A crisis payment Centrelink refers to a one-off payment that can help you when you’re in dire financial hardship or extreme circumstances. To qualify, you must be experiencing extreme events or financial problems and be eligible or getting Centrelink benefits. Such events can include family or domestic violence, natural disasters, or COVID-19 incidents. If you’re in need of quick cash and don’t want to have to prove you have been through a crisis, opting for micro loans for Centrelink customers via Viva Payday Loans will be an easier, less invasive process.
