Just received an automated pre-recorded phone call on my land line. Australian woman's voice saying that this was Centrelink and if you currently received any sort of payment to push 1 or if not to push 2.
I pushed 1 and then got another pre-recorded message in the same voice telling me that after several attempts to contact me via my home number and email and as I had not responded my details or case was going to go to the Canberra Office and I was to contact them on this number (02) 6188 5602 and quote an application number of 080456 (which was a bit of a give away as does everyone receive the same application number? I think not, unless they pre-record an individual message for each land line which would be crazy).
Then I used this web site to look up the number they had given me and here I am typing away :-)

SCAM. Purporting to be "Senior Investigation Officer Mark Brown" (Asian man speaking English with an American accent) from "the Audit Department of the Australian Taxation Office". Threatened arrest warrant for criminal allegations, with severe consequences. He offered to settle the matter outside of court and requested a call back on (02) 6188 5602 as soon as possible. SCAM.

The only difference was the number in Canberra: (02) 6145 0391. The application number was the same 080456. So this scam is still going on!

Phone call form said phone number received in Newcastle (02) 6188 5602)
Wish they'd call in person. Would love to d!ck them around giving false
personal details and extending the conversation and save someone else the
call from them...or at least delay the next one.

Received the same call, change in pension payments bla bla bla, details sent to Canberra office bla bla. Supplied a individual application number (in a recorded message!) and phone number to call. This happened on the 11th of February 2019, so its still going on.

A recorded message referred to the fact Centrelink had recently increased pensions (correct my Carers payment had increased) then went on to say I had lodged forms for a new Centrelink payment but the time allowed had elapsed and my application had been sent to Canberra. A reference number and a phone number were quoted and I was advised to ring Canberra. Didn't listen to the numbers quoted as I have not lodged any new applications with Centrelink

The automated message was exactly as previous comment in Oct 2017, except the phone number to call was 02 92 something (I didn't write that down). So the scammers have just changed the phone number.

I got the call yesterday. My application number had a 0 5 and 1 in it, as well as other numbers I can't remember. It never occurred to me about the number being unique. The phone number for mine was also 02, no idea about the rest of the numbers.

I have just relieved to find more people have received these. I was a little worried someone might have been using my phone number and address to make a false claim with Centrelink.
