Be aware folks of scam emails offering this benefit if you give copies of your super, licence, medicare details, passport, Uncle Tom Cobbly and all, by return email.
Mine claims to be from "Services Australia" which government entity does exist. Looking on the web, other government originators are claimed.

I have had two fake Telstra "over due" bills. in the last couple of months. That's why mine are staying snail mail for as long as possible.

Easy to spot a fake when it comes the wrong way.
