We start balancing FTB payments from early July and CCS payments from mid-August.

Before we can balance your FTB and CCS, you may need to lodge a tax return with the Australian Taxation Office. It’s a good idea to wait until late-July for your information to pre-fill in myTax.

If you don’t need to lodge, you need to tell us and confirm your family income for the 2024-25 financial year. You can do this online.

If you had a partner during the financial year, we need their income details too.

Use our tax time checker to see what your family needs to do.
