Australia's government reports improved Centrelink call wait times and faster claims processing.

The Albanese government reports improved call wait times and faster claims processing for Centrelink services, according to recent performance data. Increased funding for 3,000 additional staff and enhanced training have contributed to these changes. For instance, age pension processing time decreased from 84 to 49 days, and JobSeeker payments are now processed in under a week. Safety upgrades are also planned following over 12,000 reported assaults on staff.
