Gather medical reports and details about the person you care for before applying, as Services Australia uses this information to assess the level of care required. Keep Centrelink updated about changes to your income, assets, living arrangements, work or caring situation, and respond promptly to requests for documents. Check whether Carer Allowance or other concessions may also apply, as eligibility is assessed separately. You can review current rules and payment rates at servicesaustralia.gov.au or ask Services Australia how the rules apply to your circumstances.
