What if my circumstances change?
If you get your Family Tax Benefit as fortnightly payments or Child Care Benefit as reduced fees you should tell the Family Assistance Office as soon as possible if your circumstances change. A change in your circumstances could affect your payments.
If you get Family Tax Benefit through the tax system you should keep a record of any changes in your circumstances so you can correctly fill in the claim for payment after the end of the financial year. If you are claiming your payments by reducing your tax withholdings, you may need to submit a new Withholding declaration to your employer to reflect this change.
To notify the Family Assistance Office of a change in your circumstances you can contact us.
