Payments for students and trainees

If you’re studying, training or doing an Australian Apprenticeship, you may be eligible for Youth Allowance for students and apprentices, Austudy, ABSTUDY or Assistance for Isolated Children.

Assistance for Isolated Children Scheme

This scheme provides a payment to help with the extra study costs for your children. You might be able to get this payment if your children can’t go to a state or public school because they live in an isolated area, have disability or have special health needs.
