Financial Assistance from the Australian Government
The Australian Government provides a range of family assistance payments, concessions and rebates to foster and kinship carers supporting children and young people in care.
For further information, please explore Services Australia's most viewed payments for growing up page.
We also recommend that carers contact the Grandparent, Foster and Kinship Carer Advisers line to receive advice on the support they may be eligible for.
