Parenting Payment may be available if you are the principal carer of a young child: generally, the child must be under 14 if you are single or under 6 if you have a partner. You also need to meet income, assets, residence and other eligibility rules, so the amount and decision depend on your circumstances. You can claim through your myGov account linked to Centrelink, with documents such as identification and income details. Check the current rules and claim process on servicesaustralia.gov.au, as Services Australia makes the final decision.
