Rent Assistance may be available if you receive certain Centrelink payments, pay eligible rent and meet the relevant residence and payment rules. Services Australia generally assesses Rent Assistance when you claim or update a qualifying payment, so you may not need to make a separate claim. The amount depends on your circumstances, including your rent, payment type and household situation, and is subject to government rules. Report changes to your rent or living arrangements promptly and check the latest details at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
