The Centrelink Carer Pension Loan is for people who receive a regular Carer Pension Benefit. They are typically living with someone they are caring for.
Centrelink provides payments to people who provide daily care to someone who has a mental health condition, has a severe disability or is frail aged.
The two main types of benefits are the Carer Payment and the Carer Allowance.
The Carer Payment provides financial help to someone who is unable to work in frequent paid employment as they care for someone who either:
Has a severe disability or mental health condition
Who is frail aged
You can access more information about the Carer Payment here.
The Carer Allowance is an income supplement for people providing extra daily care for someone who is either:
A child or adult with a disability or mental health condition
Who is frail aged
