Education Allowance rate increase

On 23 February 2021, the Prime Minister announced a $50 per fortnight rate increase to payments such as JobSeeker Payment, Youth Allowance and certain rates of Education Allowance paid under DVA’s Education Schemes.

2 March 2021

Pending the passage of legislation, the following rates of Education Allowance will receive the rate rise from 1 April 2021:

  • students aged 16 or over, including double orphans aged 16 and over;
  • students aged under 16 and living away from home; and
  • students aged under 16 and homeless

Remember, if the student’s circumstances have changed it is important to make sure their details are up to date with DVA.
