This document outlines the procedures to be followed when calculating and processing inflation adjustments to child support payments because of a clause in a court order, agreement or change of assessment decision.

Inflation factors

A court order, agreement or change of assessment decision may include a clause requesting that the periodic amount be reviewed regularly to cover changes in the cost of living. These are called inflation factors.

This procedure will help to ensure that:

  • entitlements are varied in line with the specified inflation clauses
  • payments are correctly calculated
  • both parents are informed of the variation to their payments
