How do I claim Family Tax Benefit in Brisbane and does living in Queensland change the payment?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Family Tax Benefit (FTB) is a national payment, so Brisbane residents generally use the same eligibility rules as people elsewhere in Australia. Eligibility and the amount, if any, can depend on your family income, your child’s age, your level of care and residency circumstances. You can claim through myGov linked to Centrelink, and Services Australia usually finalises the amount after your income is confirmed. Check the current rules and claim options at servicesaustralia.gov.au, as your individual circumstances determine the outcome.
