Is your child turning 18 and still at school?

Your child support child

If your child turns 18 while attending full-time secondary school, you can apply to extend the child support assessment or agreement until the last day of the school year. Unless there are special circumstances, the receiving parent must apply after the child turns 17 but before they turn 18.

To apply or for more information call us on 131 272.

Your relevant dependent child

If your child is about to turn 18 and in secondary school, you can ask us to continue to recognise them as your relevant dependent child until the end of the school year. You'll need to apply before the child's 18th birthday.
