Never miss a government benefit deadline again.

We track 200+ federal, NSW, Victorian & Queensland programs that pay real money — but only if you apply. Every one is checked against its official government page, and we tell you before the window closes.

And no, this isn't just for people on Centrelink. Many programs have no income test at all — they turn on kids, age, moving house, buying a home, or a disaster. Middle-income families and self-funded retirees routinely qualify for thousands.

• ✅ Every item linked to the official government page
• 🔁 Verified against official sources weekly
• 🔒 We only ever ask for what a benefit actually tests — never your exact income
• 🚫 We remind — we never lodge claims for you
• 💸 No ads, no affiliate links, nothing sponsored — here's how it's funded

Every item carries the date we last checked it against its official source.

How it works

1. Answer 8 quick questions (state, kids, cards — ranges only, nothing precise), plus a few follow-ups only where they apply.
2. Get your list: what's likely relevant, what it's worth, and the exact official link — plus the expired schemes you should stop reading about.
3. Stay ahead of deadlines: tick things off, add the deadlines calendar, or get an email only when something on your list opens or is about to close.

Why deadlines are the whole game

Most benefits don't find you. Family Tax Benefit lump sums expire after 12 months. Childcare subsidy backdates only 28 days. NSW toll credits die every 30 June. Victorian travel vouchers vanish every 30 October. Nobody official will remind you — that's the gap we exist to close.

❌ And the ones you should stop reading about

Half the "benefits guides" online promote schemes that are already dead — the $250 Power Saving Bonus (closed 2023), the $400 School Saving Bonus (one-off, finished), NSW First Lap vouchers (closed 2024)… We keep 33 closed schemes on the record rather than quietly deleting them, so you stop wasting time on applications that go nowhere.

🔍 Guides we've written

Each one is built from the same checked rulebook as the 2-minute check, and every entry on it links to the government page it came from, with the date we last looked.

• What a Health Care Card actually unlocks in Victoria — the concessions nobody lists in the letter that comes with the card.
• What a Pensioner Concession Card unlocks in Victoria — the widest-reaching card in the state, and most of it isn't automatic.
• New to Australia: what you can claim from day one — which payments really have a waiting period, which don't, and the exemptions most summaries skip.
• Is the $250 Victorian Power Saving Bonus still available? — no, and here's what Victorian households can get instead.
• Is the NSW $150 Back to School voucher still available? — no, and here's what NSW families can still claim.
