$1280 PF (about) and (including covid payment) soon to drop to $980 PF, then to $780 PF in december.

$468 family tax per fortnight

3 kids, single parent, but eldest is 16 and working full time so she supports herself.

How many kids do you have?

With obviously 3 or more kids to care for given the amount of ftb it is probably better off for this person to not work after paying childcare plus maybe this person is not working due to covid

I have 5 kids. 3 are not my current partners.
We / i get nothing. 0.00 so it frustrates me when so many ppl assume because I've got so many kids, that the government supports us!

We get a little bit of FTB. We didn't use to when we had 2 kids then we had twins and the cutoff goes down the more kids you have. We get CCS but I don't count that because it just artificially inflates the price of childcare to ridiculous levels and childcare still costs an arm and a leg :(

There's a payment finder on the website. What everyone else gets is irrelevant as there are so many criteria no one actually understands it - including Clink staff.
