Reciprocating jurisdictions and residency for child support
We have arrangements for child support with a number of countries. We call these reciprocating jurisdictions.
Granny flat interest
A granny flat interest is an agreement for accommodation for life. It can affect your eligibility or rate of payment and we may include it in your assets test.
Private trusts and companies
If you’re part of a private trust or company, we need to know your share of the income and assets.
Funeral bonds and prepaid funerals
Funeral costs you pay for in advance normally don’t count in your assets test for payments from us. There are some exceptions.
Income Stream Reviews
Each financial year we review certain types of income streams. We do this to ensure we assess your payments and concession cards correctly.
Income from outside Australia
Income you get from outside Australia can count in your income test.
