Youth Allowance may support eligible students, Australian Apprentices and young people looking for work, but the rules differ depending on your age, study or training, living arrangements and independence. Services Australia may assess your income, assets, parents’ income if you are dependent, and residency status, and waiting or participation requirements can apply. You can check the eligibility rules and claim through your myGov account linked to Centrelink. The amount and whether you qualify are decided by Services Australia based on your individual circumstances, so check servicesaustralia.gov.au for current guidance.
