Carer Payment is an income support payment for someone who provides constant care to a person with a severe disability, illness or frailty, and therefore cannot work full time. Eligibility can depend on the care provided, medical evidence, residence rules, and the carer’s income and assets. You may be able to work or study within limits, but you must report changes to Services Australia. Payment rates and eligibility are assessed by Services Australia based on individual circumstances, so check the details at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
