CRISIS PAYMENT FOR HUMANITARIAN ENTRANTS
CH016TAM.1206

Department of Human Services
Crisis Payment for Humanitarian Entrants
We understand there may be times when you need additional support from us. Crisis Payment is a special
one-off payment to assist with your immediate settlement needs if you are a newly arrived humanitarian
entrant.
Who can receive the payment?
This payment is only available if you were issued with an Australian Humanitarian Visa before your first
arrival in Australia.
To receive Crisis Payment, you must:
be eligible for a Centrelink pension or benefit
be in severe financial hardship on the day of claim
be in Australia on the day of claim
hold one of the following qualifying humanitarian visas:
- subclass 200—Refugee
- subclass 201—In Country Special Humanitarian
- subclass 202—Global Special Humanitarian
- subclass 203—Emergency Rescue
- subclass 204—Woman at Risk
claim within seven days of your first arrival in Australia on a qualifying humanitarian visa (or contact
us with an intent to claim within seven days and lodge a claim within 14 days of that contact), and
How much is the Crisis Payment?
The amount of Crisis Payment is equal to one week’s payment of your basic Centrelink pension or
benefit. This doesn’t include additional payments such as Rent Assistance or Pharmaceutical Allowance.
This payment is a one-off addition to your regular fortnightly payment.
Hardship Advance
In addition to Crisis Payment, you may also apply to have part of your first instalment of pension or
benefit paid early if eligible. This is called a Hardship Advance.
