You may be eligible for Youth Allowance as a student if you meet the age, study-load, residence and income requirements. Services Australia may also assess your parents’ income unless you meet the rules to be considered independent, and living away from home can affect the rate or additional assistance available. Your personal income and assets may also be included in the assessment. Check the current eligibility rules and payment estimate on servicesaustralia.gov.au, as the final decision depends on your circumstances.
