Family Tax Benefit
A 2 part payment that helps with the cost of raising children.
To get this you must:
- have a dependent child or full time secondary student aged 16 to 19 who isn’t getting a pension, payment or benefit like Youth Allowance
- care for the child for at least 35% of the time
- meet an income test.
