Child Disability Assistance Payment

Purpose of payment
The Child Disability Assistance Payment is a $1000 annual payment made for a child with disability under 16 years who attracts a payment of Carer Allowance for their carer. The payment can be used to assist families purchase support, aids, therapies, or respite that they require for their child with disability. Importantly, the payment will help carers to purchase the form of assistance that best suits the needs of the family.

Carer Allowance is a supplementary payment to people who provide daily care and attention in a private home to a person with disability or severe medical conditions. Carer Allowance (child) is paid to a carer of a child under 16 years with a disability.


So the above is the CDAP. That seems fairly clear - it's paid for every child that you receive carers allowance for so I would only get that once.

But BG you think that you get a payment supplement of $1000 for carers payment & $600 for carers allowance. So that would mean a total of $1600 for that.

Can you tell me is it with your first payment in July?
