Tell us if your care arrangements change

Published: 13 August 2025

If you get Carer Payment, you need to tell us if there’s a change in your caring circumstances.

You must tell us within 14 days if you have a change in your care arrangements.

This includes if any of the following happen:

  • you provide less care or start sharing care with someone else
  • you stop providing care
  • the person you care for is now in aged care.

You can tell us about these changes by booking a phone or face to face appointment using your Centrelink online account through myGov.
