Does the Low Income Health Care Card have payment rates and how much could I receive?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

The Low Income Health Care Card does not provide a regular Centrelink payment, so it has no payment rate. It is a concession card that may reduce the cost of PBS medicines and some health services, with additional concessions depending on your state or territory. Eligibility is generally based on your gross income over the previous eight weeks, and the applicable income limits can change according to your circumstances. Check the current rules and limits through Services Australia before applying, as it decides eligibility based on your individual details.
