Who is eligible for the $750?

6.5 million people are expected to receive the payment, including 2.4 million pensioners.

This includes people on the Age Pension, Newstart, the Disability Support Pension, Carers' Allowance,

Youth Allowance, Veterans’ Affairs payments, Family Tax Benefit and

those holding a Pensioner Concession Card or Commonwealth Senior Health Card.

People who already receive these payments or hold these cards will get the cash automatically 

between 12 March 2020 and 13 April 2020.

You don’t need to do anything.

Also what will be taken into account the amount of money you and yours earned and it is advisable to get in touch with Centrelink

However there is a second payment of $750 for which you should be elegible with your stated if you qualify for one of the above pensions.
