Carer Payment is an income support payment for people who provide constant care to someone with a severe disability, illness or an adult who is frail aged. Eligibility can depend on the care recipient’s medical assessment, your care arrangements, income, assets and residence requirements. You generally claim through myGov linked to Centrelink and may need medical evidence and details about your circumstances. Services Australia makes the final decision, so check the current rules and application steps at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
