The Australian Government continues to provide support to school students and apprentices through the Youth Allowance program which offers financial support to students and apprentices to help ease the financial burden of pursuing education and training. For June 2025, the maximum amount Youth Allowance recipients expect to receive is $700, which reflects the Government’s willingness to help young people meet some of their living and study within the scope of the allowance. This article aims to shine some light on the eligibility requirements, payment dates, and expectations to offer true information and nothing but lies.
Who is Eligible for Youth Allowance?
The Youth Allowance is targeted to young Australians aged between 16 to 24 years who are enrolled full time in study or are undertaking an Australian Apprenticeship on a full time basis. Acceptable applicants aged 16 to 17 years are those who are enrolled full time in study and have completed year 12 or who are independent under special conditions like living away from home to study.
Applicants must also satisfy the residency requirements and the income and assets assessments which consider the financial situation of the applicants and their parents or guardians if they are a dependent. Recipients who turn 25 still have the right to receive payments as long as they have not completed the course.
Payments and Income Assessments
The maximum fortnightly payment a recipient receives and indeed the payment rates differ based on several personal factors such as age, accommodation, and like marital status. For many recipients aged 18 years and over who reside away from home, the maximum fortnightly payment is approximately $663. However, following the income asset ‘tests, the average payment is capped at $700 from the month of June 2025. For recipients who reside with parents, the payment is lower as it is deemed to be more targeted to their specific requirements.
When will we be able to make payment to recipients for June 2025?
Generally, youth allowance can be expected to be released and received fortnightly. For new students, the first payment is made approximately 2 weeks after the claim has been approved, while continuing students receive fortnightly payments during the course of their study. In June 2025, the payment dates will be as described above. The aim is to provide students with uninterrupted funding throughout the month.
