We’ll pay eligible carers the Child Disability Assistance Payment between 3 July and 1 August 2026.

You’ll get Child Disability Assistance Payment if you get Carer Allowance for a child younger than 16 for a period that includes 1 July 2026.

You don’t need to do anything to get this payment. If you’re eligible, we’ll pay it straight into your bank account between 3 July and 1 August 2026.

The payment will show in the My Payment section in your Centrelink online account through myGov by 1 July.
