Carer's allowance (CA) is a social assistance payment, made to persons who satisfy a means test and who are providing full-time care and attention to people who have a disability such that they require that level of care.

I confirm that the department received an application for CA from the person concerned on 16 October 2015. Once processed, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
