Is there a Low Income Health Care Card payment rate and what help does the card provide?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

The Low Income Health Care Card is not a Centrelink payment, so it does not have a regular payment rate. Instead, it may provide cheaper prescription medicines and access to other concessions, depending on your state or territory and the provider. Services Australia assesses eligibility using your income over the relevant period, and income limits and concession arrangements can change. Check the current rules at servicesaustralia.gov.au and with your state or territory concessions office.
