How do I claim Family Tax Benefit on the Gold Coast and does living in Queensland affect my eligibility?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Family Tax Benefit (FTB) is available across Australia, including the Gold Coast, and Queensland residency does not create a separate payment rate. Eligibility and the amount payable may depend on your child’s age and care arrangements, family income, residence status and whether you receive other support. You can claim through your myGov account linked to Centrelink, or ask Services Australia for help with the application. Services Australia makes the final assessment, so check the current rules and income estimates at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
