Child Support

Information to help parents understand the child support scheme.

We provide support to grandparents, legal guardians and other family members who provide full time care for a child.

We support people affected by family and domestic violence by providing information, resources and referrals.

You can choose how to manage your child support.

We may be able to help you set up child support when you or the other parent live in another country.

We have payments and services to help with your child's education and health care.

If you live in Victoria, you can do most of your Centrelink and Medicare business online. This includes making claims for new payments.

The Australian Government is extending the Coronavirus Supplement until 31 December 2020. There are also changes to our income support payments.

It’s easy to do most of your business with us online or over the phone during this time.

Your feedback on the beta website will help improve your online government experience.

So you don’t fall behind, we’ll help you work out the best payment method for you.
