Government intent
The child support scheme was formed to assist separated parents to take responsibility for the financial support of their children. The Child Support Registrar administers the child support scheme which was introduced by government in 1988.
On 1 July 2011, the Australian Government Department of Human Services began delivering the services and payments provided previously by the Child Support Agency, Medicare Australia, Centrelink and the then Family Assistance Office. Child Support is now a service delivery brand within Services Australia.
The child support scheme involves the assessment of child support in accordance with a formula as well as the collection and enforcement of court orders, child support agreements and child support assessments.
