The Australian government is stepping up once more to aid families with the upcoming Family Tax Benefit (FTB) payments due on June 2025. These payments assist families to tackle the challenging impacts of inflation on parenting. Families that qualify will receive payments between $71 and $222 per month, but the exact amount will depend on income, dependency, and other qualifiers.
Understanding Family Tax Benefit Parts A and B
The Family Tax Benefit is divided into two primary components, Part A and Part B. Part A helps families and looks at the family’s total income and the number of children under 19. Part B helps out single parents and also couples where one partner is the primary wage earner. A caregiver is entitled to Part B if he looks after the child for at least 35% of the time.
| Payment Type | Amount (AUD) |
|---|---|
| FTB Part A | $288.82 |
| FTB Part B | $181.44 |
| FTB Part A Supplement | $916.15 |
| FTB Part B Supplement | $448.95 |
Eligibility Requirements for FTB Payments
As with all programs, there are eligibility conditions that FTB payments must be complied with. The child must be under 19, fully dependent, and not receiving any other government allowance. Also, the child’s family income should be less than $80, 000 per year for single and family unit with one income earner. The applicants are mandated to submit residency, income, caregiving responsibilities, and supporting documents to process claims.
How to Claim Family Tax Benefit
Claiming the Family Tax Benefit can be done easily through the MyGov account linked to Centrelink. Uploading documents such as birth certificates, guardianship documents, proof of income, and residency documents is required. Submitted claims are processed within short time frames, ensuring families are provided with monthly payments to assist with crucial expenditures.
Projection of Family Tax Benefit Payments for 2025
The initial payment estimate of $71 to $222 is inaccurate as the headline figures are subject to the individual’s situation and as such the payment for 2025 differ. Below is a summary table that I provided with the key payment rates as well as the payment estimation for 2025. As such, for exact payment details, beneficiaries are directed to MyGov account or call Services Australia for tailored calculations.
The Family Tax Benefit keeps helping families in Australia manage the costs of raising children. As we approach June of 2025, families are reminded to keep all documents up to date and claims submitted on time to avoid interruption in payment.
