Advance Payment of Benefit : Contents
Clothing
If a client meets all qualifications, Advance Payments of Benefit may be made to purchase essential clothing (excluding school uniforms).
As a guideline, an Advance Payment of Benefit for clothing should not be more than:
Single people | $150 |
Married, civil union or de facto couples without dependent children | $300 |
Married, civil union or de facto couples with dependent children | $400 |
Sole parents with one or more dependent children | $400 |
Assistance for clothing can only be authorised to meet essential needs and this need should be met through the most economic item(s) available.
