Centrelink Youth Allowance 2025: New Age Rules Revealed — Are You Still Eligible?

The Youth Allowance age rules for 2025 remain steady: students and apprentices aged 16–24 (extended if finishing a course), and job seekers aged 16–21 remain eligible. Payments increased on 1 January 2025, with a mid‑year inflation bump in July. The parental income test threshold rose to $65,189. Though proposals seek to lower the job‑seeker age and remove the parental test, no changes are law yet. Apply early via myGov.
