Review of Carer Payment (child)

The Review of Carer Payment (Child) was conducted from March to November 2007 by an independent Taskforce. The review examined the eligibility criteria for Carer Payment (child) and their effectiveness in providing a safety net for carers of children with a severe disability or medical condition. The Taskforce's report, 'Carer Payment (child): A New Approach' is now available.

To complement the Taskforce report, a Statistical Compendium providing a statistical summary of the population of children with disability and their carers in Australia is also available.

The Carers Storybook has also been produced to acknowledge the valuable role of carers.
