CP is an income support payment paid to carers who, because of the demands of their caring role, are unable to support themselves through substantial paid employment.
It is a fortnightly payment that includes entitlement to a Pensioner Concession Card (PCC) or Health Care Card (HCC). To be eligible for CP a carer must be providing constant care for an adult or child and meet the pension income and assets tests.
