You can apply online through your myGov account linked to Centrelink by selecting Make a claim and following the Parenting Payment prompts. You’ll generally need details about your identity, children, relationship status, income, assets, bank account and any other payments you receive. Parenting Payment rules differ for single and partnered parents, including the age of your youngest child, so Services Australia will assess your circumstances. If you cannot apply online, contact Services Australia or check servicesaustralia.gov.au for current instructions and required documents.
