Home Caregiving Grant for eligible home-based care
AIC’s means-tested monthly support for eligible families caring at home for a person with disability.
What this resource offers
HCG is an AIC monthly cash-support scheme for eligible families caring at home for a person with moderate to severe disability. AIC sets nationality, residence, means-testing and assessment conditions, with routes for a parent or guardian to apply for a child. Start by reading the current criteria, arrange the applicable assessment and use eFASS or ask AIC about a hard-copy route. Confirm functional-assessment and household-document requirements before applying.
