My income or work has changed checklist
Check reporting, estimates, childcare and hardship help when earnings or employment change.
Centrelink earnings reporting and your annual family-assistance estimate are different. Check what needs updating rather than assuming a single report covers everything.
A child-support estimate or assessment change has its own rules and effective dates. Ask the agency about your actual circumstances.
Check FTB and CCS estimates, fees and balancing. Subsidised hours do not mean care is free or a place is guaranteed.
Employment rights depend on coverage. Parent Pathways is a separate voluntary service for eligible parents; it is not a general exemption from other obligations.
Contact creditors about hardship and get free financial counselling. A loan still needs repayment; avoid treating it as extra income.
Only checked item IDs are saved. Select this again on a later visit to restore saved ticks. Someone using this device may see them. Do not save if that is unsafe.
A printed copy or print history can be seen by someone else.
