Commonwealth Seniors Health Card (CSHC) Income Test and Dependent Child Worksheet Completed Form Examples and Samples

Hi John, regarding your application for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, I have compiled the figures for the 2026-2027 financial year as we discussed. For your taxable income, we are estimating $32,000, and for your partner, Sarah, we are looking at $18,500. We don't expect any foreign income for either of you. For the net investment loss, you have $2,500 and Sarah has $1,200. Regarding employer benefits, after subtracting the standard $1,000 threshold, your value is $4,500 and Sarah's is $3,000. Your reportable superannuation contributions are $5,000 each. I have also noted that you have two account-based income streams; the first is deemed at $1,200 and the second at $800, while Sarah's are $900 and $500 respectively. Regarding your grandson, Leo, he is 14 years old and currently living with you full-time. He is not receiving any government pensions or benefits, and you are his primary legal guardian. Since he is under 16 and in your full-time care, he qualifies as a dependent child for your application. Let me know if you need any other documents verified for Centrelink before we submit these numbers.
