A mathematical formula is used to figure out how much child support should be paid. This is called a ‘child support assessment.’ For an estimate of how much will need to be paid, see the Child Support Online Estimator.


If you think the child support assessment is unfair because it does not take into account special circumstances in your case, you should contact Child Support to discuss this. They may be able to change how much is paid. Get legal advice and call Child Support on 131 272 as soon as you can.

如果您正在领取社会福利,必须向另一方父母申请子女抚养费。如果您领取家庭税收福利,在分居后的13周内将继续享受。如果您未申请子女抚养费,13周后,您的'家庭税收福利A'将降至基本水平。
在分居后尽快申请非常重要,因为您将从申请之日起获得支付(子女抚养费不会追溯到您分居的日期)。




只有在您能证明另一方是孩子的生物或养父母,或在某些情况下是前同性伴侣的情况下,Child Support 才会接受子女抚养费申请。

例如,如果一个人的名字出现在孩子的出生证明上,或者父母在孩子出生时已婚,Child Support 将接受该人是父母。
Parents can make agreements called ‘child support agreements’ or ‘private agreements’ about child support.
These agreements set out in writing how much and how often one parent will pay child support to the other parent.
It is important that you get legal advice before you make a child support agreement. They are difficult to change later and can sometimes disadvantage the parent who has the children living with them most of the time.
Child Support must tell you in writing about most decisions it makes about your case. If you think Child Support are wrong, you can object and ask for a review of the decision.
You must object in writing no later than 28 days after the decision is delivered to your address. If you are out of time, you will need a reason why you are late. If you want to object, get legal adviceACTNSWNTQldSATasVicWA.
