If your child is dependent and gets Youth Allowance or ABSTUDY, we may have sent them a letter asking for your income details.
This helps make sure we’re paying them the right payment and right amount.
Even if the deadline in the letter has passed, you can still act now to give us your income details. If you don’t know your total income, you can give us an estimate.
If we didn’t send your child a letter, you don’t need to do anything. That’s because we already know your income.
Find out how to update your parental income details now.
