About this service

Central government's information line. Call 1400 with general questions about national rules, for example on rent, rent benefit, work or benefits, or to check whether a call that claimed to come from a government body (such as a ministry or the police) was genuine. You can also send a message by WhatsApp, X, Facebook or email. It gives general information, not decisions on your own case.
