If you are a carer, you may be able to receive financial assistance from the Australian Government. Payments vary depending on the amount of care you provide.
The Carer Payment is income support for those that give constant care to someone who has a severe disability, illness or an adult who is frail aged. The Carer Allowance is a fortnightly supplement for those that give additional daily care to a person with a disability, medical condition or who is frail aged.
The Carer Supplement is a yearly payment to help with the cost of caring for a person. A carer may be able to get this payment if they receive a Carer Payment or a Carer Allowance. There are several eligibility requirements for each type of financial help.
Visit the Carer Gateway for more information about carer payments and other financial help https://www.carergateway.gov.au/financial-help.
