Family Tax Benefit (FTB) is generally assessed under the same national rules on the Central Coast as elsewhere in Australia, rather than having a separate local rate. You can claim through myGov linked to Centrelink, or ask Services Australia about the best way to apply. Eligibility and the amount you may receive depend on factors such as your family income, children’s ages, care arrangements and residency status. Services Australia makes the final assessment, so check the current rules and estimate your entitlement at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
