Carer Payment & Carer Allowance Claim
Two separate Centrelink payments for unpaid family carers. Carer Payment is income-tested and pays around the Age Pension rate (~$1,144/fortnight single, indexed); Carer Allowance is a fortnightly $159 (indexed) supplement, not income-tested. You can claim both at once.
