Family Tax Benefit (FTB) is available in Melbourne under the same national rules as elsewhere in Australia. Eligibility and payment amounts can depend on your family income, your child’s age, how much care you provide, and your residence and visa circumstances. You can claim through myGov linked to Centrelink, either fortnightly or as a lump sum after the end of the financial year. Services Australia makes the final decision, so check the current rules and income estimates at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
