The Child Support Agency

Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail

The Child Support Agency (CSA) is an administrative Agency that is part of the Commonwealth Government. The role of the Child Support Agency is to provide assistance and support to separated parents and to ensure the financial wellbeing of their children.

 
The Child Support Agency is responsible for conducting assessments of child support to be paid and received by separating parents. The Assessment is based on a formula which is set out in the Child Support (Assessment) Act 1989 and allows the Child Support Agency to take into account a number of discretionary factors.
 
The Agency also has extensive powers to ensure that Assessments, once in place, are enforced. These range from garnishing the wages of a non-complying parent to preventing overseas travel in extreme circumstances.
We can assist you in your dealings with the Child Support Agency to ensure that the best possible outcome is obtained for you and your family.
