Youth Allowance

Youth Allowance can assist you if you are a young person who is studying, undertaking training or an Australian Apprenticeship, looking for work, or sick.

Note: Legislation to introduce the Government's proposed changes to student payments, including the introduction of new scholarships, has not been approved by Parliament. This means current rules for Youth Allowance, Austudy and ABSTUDY continue to apply. For more information, refer to Proposed changes to Youth Allowance.
