A Parenting Payment checklist usually includes proof of identity, your Tax File Number, bank details, and information about your child or children, such as their birth details. You may also need documents about your income, assets, partner’s circumstances, Australian residence and housing costs, depending on your situation. Services Australia may ask for extra evidence, such as separation or care arrangements. You can check the current requirements and submit a claim through myGov linked to Centrelink, with eligibility decided by Services Australia.
