Centrelink Payments November 2025 – Full Schedule for Age Pension, FTB, and Other Benefits
Centrelink will make scheduled deposits of several social security payments in November 2025, including the Age Pension and Family Tax Benefit (FTB). Knowing the payment dates and key procedures helps recipients plan budgets and ensure ongoing eligibility.
November 2025 Centrelink payment dates
Routine income support payments such as the Age Pension are typically paid on a fortnightly basis. In November 2025 the fortnightly payment dates fall on 7 November 2025 and 21 November 2025. Recipients should check their individual payment fortnights in myGov as dates can vary slightly by claim type and payment method.
Family Tax Benefit — key points
Family Tax Benefit helps parents and carers and is paid in two parts: Part A and Part B. Part A is income- and child-age-tested and may be paid fortnightly or as a lump sum after annual reconciliation. Part B supports single parents and families with a single main income earner. Amounts for Part B vary depending on the youngest child’s age; typical fortnightly payments range approximately between $134.96 and $193.34. Claimants must confirm income annually at the end of the financial year (30 June) to finalise payment balances.
Advance payments and additional support
Eligible recipients can request an advance payment — a lump sum paid earlier than the normal schedule — which is generally repaid across 13 subsequent payments. To qualify, recipients usually must have been receiving the relevant payment for a period (for example three months) and have no outstanding debts that would prevent an advance.

- Check your specific fortnight and payment method in your Centrelink account.
