How your payments are impacted

There are some changes that may affect you if you get family payments.

We use your family income estimate to work out how much family assistance to pay you. This includes Family Tax Benefit (FTB) and Child Care Subsidy (CCS).

Dad and Partner Pay is a taxable payment. It may affect your tax obligations and other payments.

To get Dad and Partner Pay, you must not be working and not taking paid leave.

You can do occasional tasks to check on your business or to ensure it stays operational. You can do this without losing your entitlement to Dad and Partner Pay.

There are rules about when you can get Dad and Partner Pay when you travel outside Australia.
