Want to gain a better understanding of Centrelink payments for people who have children?

This free online session will outline Centrelink payments targeting families with children, including Parenting Payment, Family Tax Benefit, Parental Leave Pay, Dad and Partner Pay, Carer Payment and Child Care Subsidy.

We address eligibility requirements, income and assets tests, mutual obligations relating to work, and the way that the number and age of children affects different payments.

The webinar explains how relationship status (single/partnered) affects payment, and outlines Centrelink payments intended to support people trying to escaping domestic violence.

We also address how issues related to separation can have a major impact on social security payments, particularly child support and the amount of time a child is in the care of each parent.⠀⠀

Learn how to access a Centrelink Social Worker, and how to proceed if a claim is rejected, payment is stopped, or a debt is raised.

Target audience: Community workers and volunteers, social workers and lawyers
