There is no application fee to claim Parenting Payment through Services Australia. You may still have costs for documents, travel or getting help from a private adviser, although these are not charged by Centrelink. Whether you qualify, and how much you may receive, depends on factors such as your income, assets, relationship status, residence and your child’s age. Check the details and apply through servicesaustralia.gov.au, or contact Services Australia if you need help with your circumstances.
