I read on another forum you can get free banking if you have a hcc and recieve pp from centrelink. Who does this please? And what account do you go with? Who are you with?

TIA

It depends on the banks branch I think.

Ive been on PPS for 4 years and only found out about 3 months ago that my bank waive fee's for PPS

Im with ANZ

ANZ is the one.
If you only get centerlink benfits in the account they will not charge you any fee's, also the only time you will pay anything is when you use a non-ANZ atm.

umm westpac and nab also do it as i have a free account with each

i get pps in one and ftb in the other for personal reasons and theres no fees as long as my centrelink money goes in there
