self-isolate or quarantine due to COVID-19
you're caring for someone who has to self-isolate or quarantine due to COVID-19.
What are the eligibility criteria?
You may be eligible for this payment if you have to self-isolate or quarantine for one of the following reasons:
you have coronavirus (COVID-19)
you’re a close contact of a person who has COVID-19
a child you care for who is 16 years or under, is a close contact of a person who has COVID-19
you’re caring for someone who has COVID-19
you’re caring for someone with disability or a severe medical condition who must self-isolate or quarantine because they’re a close contact of a person with COVID-19. You must be living in the same household as the person with disability or a severe medical condition.
You can claim over the phone with Services Australia. You must make a new claim for each period of self-isolation or quarantine that you are required to serve.
