How does Family Tax Benefit work for families living in Darwin?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

Family Tax Benefit (FTB) is available under national rules, so living in Darwin does not create a separate FTB rate or scheme. Eligibility and payment amounts may depend on your family income, the number and ages of your children, their care arrangements and other circumstances. FTB has Part A and Part B, and some families may also qualify for Rent Assistance or other support. Services Australia makes the final assessment, so check your details and estimate your entitlement through your myGov account or servicesaustralia.gov.au.
