This document outlines how to determine who should be the applicant for AIC.

Applicants

An approved applicant must be the person with primary or joint responsibility for the student's care and will be one of the following:

  • the natural, adoptive, de facto or step-parent of the student
  • the legal guardian of the student
  • the person with whom the student normally lives (when not living away to attend school)
  • in some cases, a non-government organisation or institution may be the applicant

While there may be more than one approved applicant for a student, only one claim may be accepted for a student for a particular period. Where the person who is an approved applicant for a student has changed, a new claim must be lodged.
