Family Tax Benefit (FTB) is a Centrelink payment that helps eligible families with the cost of raising dependent children. It has two parts: Part A is generally based on family income, the number and ages of children, and your level of care, while Part B may provide extra help to some single parents and couple families with a main carer. Eligibility can also depend on residence and other circumstances, and payments may be made fortnightly or as a lump sum after the financial year. Services Australia makes the final decision, so check the latest rules and claim options at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
