Family Tax Benefit is a national Centrelink payment, so the process is the same for families on the Central Coast as elsewhere in Australia. You generally apply through a myGov account linked to Centrelink, with eligibility based on factors such as your child’s age, care arrangements, family income and residency. Family Tax Benefit Part A and Part B have different rules, and the amount payable is assessed by Services Australia and may be adjusted after income is confirmed.
