How do I apply for Child Support?
Applications for Child Support are made directly through the Child Support Agency. The Child Support Agency website, www.csa.gov.au, provides comprehensive information as to how child support payments are assessed and how to apply for child support.
The right to spend time or communicate with the child is not dependant upon the payment or non-payment of child support.
In addition, if you separate you may be entitled to a pension or other government benefits, if you are not working or have a low income. You should contact your local Centrelink branch to obtain information as to your possible entitlements.
