Child support assessment

How we assess the amount of child support you need to pay or receive.

The formula we use to work it out is in Australian law.

If you disagree with a decision, find out when you can object to a Child Support decision.

We’re reviewing assessments based on provisional income from 2008 onwards. You don’t need to contact us about this unless you’ve received a letter. Read more about what to do if you got a letter about a system issue with your child support case.
