Financial
Issues
Grandchildren cost money to raise:
Centrelink now has brochures and information to help grandparents
negotiate their services. The Centrelink website has a special
section for grandparents raising grandchildren. Possibly the most
helpful way to negotiate Centrelink is via a Centrelink Social
Worker. Every Centrelink office has a social worker and all you
need to do is ring Centrelink and ask for an appointment. A social
worker will work with you over a period of time to establish you
and your grandchild entitlements.
