Thanks BG. So FTB does continue if you're not eligible for Youth Allowance (I highly doubt we would be). I can't believe the payment is so low for kids of that age . I suppose they're able to get a part time job at that age anyway, which I'll be encouraging my kids to do.
Guillard said she was going to increase the amount paid to parents of 15-18 year olds. Do you know if that's really going to happen?
until May when the budget comes out, it's all speculation
if your kids are over 16, their income can also impact ftb entitlement. this financial year, if they earn 13009 or under, you get payment each fortnight, 13010 and you get nothing
