A Carer Payment recipient that is classed as single, is allowed to earn up to $190 per fortnight without losing any of their Carer Payment Pension.
Anything above $190 per fortnight will cause their pension to be reduced by half of anything over $190 that they earn.
Examples of this are:
You Earn $190. Your pension is not affected.
You earn $200. That is $10 above the $190 threshold. Your pension is reduced by $5.
You earn $230. That is $40 above the $190 threshold. Your pension is reduced by $20.
The threshold for a Carer Payment recipient, that is classed as a member of a couple, is higher, but is split between the couple.
The couples combined income threshold is $336 per fortnight.
Any earnings above $366 per fortnight will cause their pension to be reduced by half of anything over the $336 that they earn.
