How can I compare Centrelink payments to see which one I may be eligible for?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Centrelink payment eligibility depends on your age, income, assets, work capacity, caring responsibilities, residency and family situation. Common payments to compare include JobSeeker Payment, Parenting Payment, Disability Support Pension, Age Pension and Family Tax Benefit, although each has different rules and rates. Use Services Australia's Payment and Service Finder and check the individual payment pages for current conditions and income tests. Services Australia makes the final decision after assessing your circumstances, so you may need supporting documents or advice from a qualified professional.
