working age payment

Parenting Payment, Disability Support Pension, Carer Payment, Youth Allowance Student and Apprentice and a number of other payments are only available to people below retirement age, and are included in the term working age payment. These are not unemployment payments, however some recipients are subject to activity testing (eg parents, DSP recipients under 35).

Unemployment payments are also included in the definition of “working age payment” as they are only available to people below retirement age.
