Payments
If you leave Australia
In some circumstances, you may be paid Youth Allowance for temporary periods of time you spend outside Australia.
If you are a full-time student:
- you can usually keep getting Youth Allowance for up to 13 weeks if you leave Australia temporarily (for example during a semester break)
- you can usually get Youth Allowance if you are studying at an overseas institution with the study counting towards your Australian course.
If you are planning to travel outside Australia you should contact us to see if your payment will be affected.
