Child support assessments
Child support assessments are administrative assessments done by the Department of Human Services (Child Support Agency). The Child Support Registrar has the decision-making powers under the child support legislation. The assessment involves the application of a mathematical formula set by the Child Support (Assessment) Act 1989 (Cth) (CSA Act), which takes into account the time the child spends with each parent, the income of the parents and a statutory table outlining the expenses for the child/ren. The assessment is issued to both parents and binds the parents to an amount payable monthly by the liable parent.
