Differences between Income Management and enhanced Income Management

About this resource

If you’re on Income Management, you probably use your BasicsCard for things like shopping in store, paying bills or checking your balance at an ATM.
But did you know you can choose to move to enhanced Income Management, which can help you do more things with your money?

On enhanced Income Management you will get an enhanced Income Management account and a SmartCard, which is a bit like a BasicsCard, but you can do more things with it.
On enhanced Income Management you can shop online for things like groceries, pay bills using BPAY, and check your balance in a number of ways to see how much money you have to spend. You may also be able to add your SmartCard to your digital wallet on your phone to pay for things easily in store.

You can talk to us if you want to move from Income Management to enhanced Income Management. If you move to enhanced Income Management, your Centrelink payment amount you get from Services Australia will not change.
If you live in the Northern Territory, you can choose to have your enhanced Income Management account and SmartCard managed through Services Australia or the Traditional Credit Union, also known as TCU.
Once you move to enhanced Income Management, you won’t be able to go back to Income Management.

If you want to move to enhanced Income Management or just want to know more about it, go to servicesaustralia.gov.au/smartcard, call 1800 252 604 (you can ask for an interpreter if you need one), or visit a service centre.
