What is the Family Tax Benefit Part A Supplement?
The Family Tax Benefit Part A Supplement is a payment to families eligible to receive Family Tax Benefit Part A at any time during the income year. It is paid for each eligible child in a family and paid as a lump sum after the end of the income year.
Can I get the Family Tax Benefit Part A Supplement?
The Family Tax Benefit Part A supplement is available to all families who receive some Family Tax Benefit Part A during a financial year income year. The amount of supplement payable may vary depending on family income or circumstances. You will be paid the supplement after you and/or your partner (if you have one) have lodged an income tax return, if required. If you and/or your partner are not required to lodge an income tax return, you should advise the Family Assistance Office in order to receive the supplement.
If you have received any Family Assistance overpayments during the income year, or if you have any outstanding family assistance debts, the supplement will be used to offset them.
If your child is turning four years old and you and/or your partner receive an income support payment from Centrelink or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, your supplement may be withheld if your child does not undergo a health check to ensure they are healthy, fit and ready to learn when they start school or you fail to advise the Family Assistance Office that your child has undergone a health check.
How do I get Family Tax Benefit Part A Supplement?
Only families who are eligible to receive the Family Tax Benefit Part A can receive the Family Tax Benefit A supplement. You do not have to make a separate claim for the supplement as the payment will be made automatically after the end of the financial year when you and/or your partner (if you have one) have lodged your income tax return, or advised the Family Assistance Office you are not required to lodge a return.
