Child Disability Assistance Payment is an annual payment you receive if you get Carer Allowance when looking after a child with disability or medical condition. The Child Disability Assistance Payment is an automatic annual payment of up to $1,000.
You don’t need to claim this payment. You just need to be getting Carer Allowance for a child younger than 16 for a period that includes 1 July each year.
The Child Disability Assistance Payment is an automatic annual payment given to those with the Carer Allowance to help with the costs of caring for a child with disability who is under 16 years old.
For those who share care for a child with disability the payment is split and if you care for more than one child with disability you will be given the payment for each child which qualifies you for the Carer Allowance.
The Child Disability Assistance Payment is assessed separately to the Carer Supplement and you may be able to access both.
