Carer Allowance
Feedback
The Carer Allowance (adult) and the Carer Support (child) are supplementary payments available to parents or carers who provide daily care and attention at home for adults or children with a disability or severe medical condition. You must live in the same home as the person you are caring for.
This payment is non-taxable and is not subject to an income or assets test. Carer Allowance may be paid in addition to Carer Payment or other payments, such as the Age Pension.
