ELIGIBLE carers will receive the Carer Supplement from July 3.
Those receiving an eligible payment on July 1 will receive up to $600 for each eligible person in their care.
Child Disability Assistance Payment (up to $1000 for each eligible child in care) will also be paid to those in receipt of an eligible pension on July 1.
Those eligible for either payment need to do nothing. The payment will be made into bank accounts by July 31.
Anyone who believes they are eligible and who does not receive the payment by that date should log on to their MyGov account to check if the payment has been issued and ensure band account details are correct; or contact the Carers Line on 132-717.
