Financial support for single parents will continue until their youngest dependent child turns 14, partly reversing a cut to the payment made by former governments more than a decade ago.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed the lift from eight to 14 would be included in tomorrow's federal budget.
"I know firsthand what it's like to grow up with a single mum doing it tough, and we want to make sure that the children of single-parent families have the best opportunities in life," Mr Albanese said.
