Carer Payment is an income support payment for people who provide constant care to someone with a severe disability, illness or frailty, including an adult who is frail aged. Eligibility can depend on the care recipient’s medical needs, your income and assets, and how much care you provide. You may be able to work or study while receiving it, but limits and reporting requirements can apply. Services Australia assesses each claim individually, so check the current rules and payment rates at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
