Rent Assistance may be available if you receive an eligible Centrelink payment or Family Tax Benefit Part A and pay rent above the relevant minimum amount. Services Australia generally assesses your rent, household circumstances, payment type and maximum applicable rate, with rates and thresholds subject to change. You usually do not make a separate claim if your rent details are recorded, but you should update them through myGov or contact Services Australia if your situation changes. Check the latest information at servicesaustralia.gov.au, as any entitlement is decided on your individual circumstances.
