In 2018, around 1 in 9 people in Australia acted as a carer for a person with a disability or an elderly person.

If you are a primary carer of a young adult (over 18yrs) with a disability who resides with you and remains dependent on you financially, you may be able to make a claim for Adult Child Maintenance from their non-resident parent for continued support into adulthood.

More young adults than ever are now staying at home to live with their parents. This can be due to many factors, including increased cost of living and housing affordability.

However, if your adult child remains at home and dependent on you as primary caregiver because they are studying tertiary education (TAFE or uni), and/or because they have a disability, you may be eligible to make a claim for Adult Child Maintenance from your child's other parent.

NDIS supports for families can cover the costs related to the participants goals, and are directly related to their disability. NDIS supports do not cover the cost of medical, education, or basic cost of living needs eg food and bills.

For those who are applying for NDIS, the support costs covered eg therapies, home help cannot be claimed as an expense when calculating the amount of Adult Child Maintenance needed. Adult Child Maintenance is designed to assist with the cost of living for your dependent adult child, and other expenses such as medical expenses which are not covered by the NDIS.

Casual work for teenagers, and those moving into young adulthood, can help to increase their confidence and life skills. Teens and young adults can use those skills to transfer into the workforce in later years.

Adult Child Maintenance claims consider the employment income of the young adult when making an assessment. However if a young child can work, the case law in this area shows young adults are encouraged to be employed and make a small contribution towards their own cost of living, but they cannot meet the totality of their needs and therefore they may still require assistance from their parents on an equitable basis.

If you are the primary carer of a child with a disability, rely on a non-resident parent for child support, and your child is likely to remain dependent on you past their 18th birthday, you may be able to make a claim for Adult Child Maintenance.

When assessing the need for Adult Child Maintenance, the Court considers the employment of the adult child. Where a chid is able to work, it is beneficial to the application that they don't intend to simply rely on their parents for their entire cost of living.

For example, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2018) showed the unemployment rate for people with autism spectrum disorders was 34.1%, more than three times the rate for people with disability (10.3%) and almost eight times the rate of people without disability (4.6%).

However, the case law recognises that children who have a disability may not be able to participate in the workforce, and those studying full-time have a limited capacity to work for that period. Each case is determined on the individual circumstances.
