FINANCES

Bestest raises funds for kids in need. Their primary mission is to ease the heavy burden and the neglected needs of children who fall outside the standard boundaries of the larger established charities. Whether that be a child in your street, suburb, or remote country areas, Bestest aims to help get these children the support they need to battle an illness, obtain equipment for disabilities, gain access to education or provide urgent assistance to children at risk.

Carer Adjustment Payment is a one-off, non-taxable payment to assist families to adjust following a catastrophic event where a child aged 0-6 years is diagnosed with a severe illness, medical condition or a major disability.

An Ex Carer Allowance (child) Health Care Card entitles the recipient to cheaper medicines and some other concessions.
