On the day you claim Parenting Payment you must be an Australian resident and in Australia.
If you've recently arrived as a resident in Australia, you may have to wait to get this payment. This is because there’s a newly arrived resident’s waiting period for Parenting Payment.
You must continue to meet the residence rules to keep getting this payment.
