Keep your personal details, relationship status, income, assets and care arrangements up to date with Services Australia, and report changes by the required deadlines. Keep payslips, invoices and other records handy, as your payment can be affected by employment income, partner income or changes in who cares for your child. Read messages in your myGov account and check whether you have any appointments or mutual obligation requirements. Eligibility and payment rates depend on your circumstances, so use the official Services Australia calculator or speak with Services Australia for guidance.
