How do I claim Family Tax Benefit in Wollongong and how much might my family receive?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

Family Tax Benefit (FTB) in Wollongong is administered by Services Australia under the same national rules as elsewhere in Australia, rather than by a local council. Eligibility and the amount payable can depend on your family’s income, children’s ages, care arrangements, residency and whether you qualify for Part A, Part B or both. You can claim through myGov linked to Centrelink, and Services Australia will assess your circumstances, with payments sometimes adjusted after your income is confirmed. Check the current rates and eligibility at servicesaustralia.gov.au or contact Centrelink for advice about your situation.
