Abstract

What is a robo-debt? Robo-debt is the popular name for a technological innovation introduced by Centrelink in mid-2016 to streamline social security payment obligation compliance and debt recovery. This 'online compliance intervention' ('OCI') program automated the way ATO tax data, on total earnings over a period of usually 26 weeks, was averaged per fortnight and then matched against the earnings previously reported by social security clients, to determine the correctness of their past fortnightly rates of payment.
