Are grandparents or carers eligible for Family Assistance?
Yes, if you are a grandparent or carer (whether or not you have gained legal responsibility for the child) you may be eligible for Family Assistance if you have day to day care and responsibility for a child/ren. We understand that sometimes these arrangements are only temporary until the parents are able to care for their children again, and we can pay you for the time the children are in your care.
