Millions of Australians are set to get a cash boost within weeks as Services Australia payments are indexed on top of additional increases to Rent Assistance payments also due to kick in this month.
Centrelink JobSeeker recipients will also be moved to a higher rate, and receive an extra $71.20 per fortnight.
The indexation will be applied to a range of pensions and payments including the Age Pension, Disability Support Pension and Carer Payments, Commonwealth Rent Assistance, JobSeeker, and Parenting Payments.

The indexation increases — up to $41.50 a fortnight — will vary based on the payments and will come into effect on September 20.
Changes to Rent Assistance and Jobseeker payments will come into effect on the same day, and indexation will be applied on top of those new rates.
