How much is Parenting Payment and do the rates differ for single and partnered parents?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Parenting Payment rates differ for single and partnered parents, and the amount you may receive depends on your income, assets, family circumstances and whether you meet the eligibility rules. Rates are generally adjusted over time, so the current figure can change after indexation. Rent Assistance or Family Tax Benefit may be assessed separately and could affect your overall support. Check the latest rate tables and use the payment estimator on servicesaustralia.gov.au, as Services Australia makes the final decision.
