What Centrelink payment might I be eligible for in Perth and how do I apply?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

The Centrelink payment available in Perth depends on your circumstances, such as your age, income, assets, work status, study, caring responsibilities and housing costs. Possible payments include JobSeeker Payment, Parenting Payment, Youth Allowance, Age Pension and Family Tax Benefit, while Rent Assistance may be available with some payments if you meet the rules. Rates and eligibility are generally based on national rules rather than your suburb, although Western Australian concessions and local support services may also be relevant. Check your options and claim through servicesaustralia.gov.au, which makes the final eligibility and payment decision.
