Millions of Aussies are getting a financial boost on Wednesday as Centrelink benefits are indexed, with increases of between $14 and $30 for eligible customers. The increase will help Australians receiving rent assistance, JobSeeker, single parenting, and ABSTUDY payments, as well as people on an age pension, disability support pension and carer payments.
RateCity’s Sally Tindall talks about Centrelink boost for millions of Aussies after payments indexed. An extra 77,000 parents will now be on a higher payment rate after eligibility was expanded to cover parents whose youngest child is under 14, instead of under eight, as in the last budget. Appearing on Sunrise on Wednesday, RateCity research director Sally Tindall, said the increases will affect the quality of life of millions of people, amid the nation’s cost-of-living crisis.
