What you need to check
You get $600 each year for each carer payment that counts, if you get it for a period that includes 1 July. For example, Carer Payment and Carer Allowance together mean two payments. If you share care and get part of Carer Allowance, you get part of this too. Some veterans’ carer payments also count.
This is a short summary. Other rules may apply, like income or where you live. Check the full rules with the agency that runs it.
