Don’t let your child’s Youth Allowance payment stop

Published: 17 October 2025

If your dependent child gets Youth Allowance, we may have sent them a letter asking for your income details.

If your child is 21 or younger, we might have sent a letter in September asking for your income details. This is to make sure we’re paying your child the right amount.

The letter will tell you how to give us your income information online and the final date to submit it.

Make sure you act on it by the deadline so your child’s payment doesn’t stop.

If your child didn’t get a letter, you don’t need to do anything. We’ve got the information we need.
