Carer Payment may be available if you provide constant care to someone with a severe disability, medical condition or an adult who is frail aged. Services Australia generally assesses the level and duration of care required, along with your income, assets and residency circumstances. You may still be able to work or study within set limits, but the care must substantially reduce your capacity to do so. Carer Payment is different from Carer Allowance, which is an additional payment for providing daily care. Check the current rules and claim process at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
