      WINZ – Child Disability Allowance

      Child Disability Allowance is a weekly payment made to the main carer of a child or young person with a disability. It is paid in recognition of the extra care and attention needed for that child. This is not means tested so anyone can receive this. This is a set amount and doesn’t depend on your income, assets or costs.
