Who to notify,
and in what order.

A free printable checklist of every agency, provider and person who may need to be told when someone dies in Australia, grouped so you can work through it a little at a time.

The admin of death catches people off guard. Centrelink, the ATO, Medicare, super funds, insurers, the electoral roll, the phone company, the golf club. Each has its own process and its own hold music. This checklist sets it all out on two pages so nothing is missed, and so you can hand part of it to someone who has offered to help.

Everything that needs
a phone call, in one place

Two A4 pages with tick boxes beside every item, plus space to write reference numbers and dates as you go. Most families work through it over several weeks, and that's exactly how it's meant to be used.

Government agencies

Centrelink, Medicare, ATO, Veterans' Affairs, and electoral services.

02

Financial institutions

Banks, building societies, credit unions, and mortgage providers.

03

Superannuation

Your fund, any insurance policies, and pension providers.

04

Insurance policies

Life insurance, income protection, and home & contents cover.

05

Utilities and services

Electricity, gas, water, phone, internet, and council rates.

06

Memberships and subscriptions

Golf clubs, gyms, professional associations, and regular services.

07

Digital accounts

08

Notes and reference numbers

Space to record who you called, when, and the reference they gave you.

You do not have to do this in one sitting, and you do not have to do it alone. Give a page to the person who keeps asking how they can help.
