Did you know that Health Care Cards give children and young people in care access to low-cost healthcare services?

All children and young people in care are entitled to a government Health Care Card. If you have a child or young person in your care, you can apply directly for a Health Care Card through the Services Australia website: https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/ or by calling 13 61 50. For more information, speak to your DCP caseworker.
