Supplementing rental costs for individuals and families.

-

Rent Assistance is a valuable income supplement provided to individuals and families who rent in the private rental market or community housing. This non-taxable financial support is aimed at helping eligible individuals meet their rental expenses.

To qualify for Rent Assistance, you must meet specific criteria, including eligibility for an eligible social security payment, receiving an amount higher than the base rate of Family Tax Benefit A, or being eligible for an eligible Department of Veterans' Affairs service pension or income support supplement. The amount of Rent Assistance you receive is determined based on the amount of rent you pay.

The process of claiming Rent Assistance is seamless, as you don't need to submit a separate claim. Your eligibility for Rent Assistance is automatically assessed when you claim one of the eligible payments.
