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.
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.
Centrelink, Medicare, ATO, Veterans' Affairs, and electoral services.
Banks, building societies, credit unions, and mortgage providers.
Your fund, any insurance policies, and pension providers.
Life insurance, income protection, and home & contents cover.
Electricity, gas, water, phone, internet, and council rates.
Golf clubs, gyms, professional associations, and regular services.
Email, social media, cloud storage, streaming services and online subscriptions.
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.
