You’ll get Child Disability Assistance Payment if you get Carer Allowance for a child younger than 16 for a period that includes 1 July 2024.
You don’t need to do anything to get this payment. If you’re eligible, we’ll pay it straight into your bank account between 3 July and 2 August 2024.
To get this payment, you need to be getting Carer Allowance for a child younger than 16 for a period that includes 1 July.

You can’t get Child Disability Assistance Payment if you only have a Carer Allowance Health Care Card.
You can get up to $1,000 each year for each child who qualifies you for Carer Allowance.
If you’re getting Carer Allowance, you can get this payment for each eligible child. For example, if you get Carer Allowance for 2 children, you’ll get 2 payments.
