The guide is CSA’s legal resource.

The guide sets out CSA’s policy and view of the child support scheme and its administration. It is organised into parts, chapters and topics. Links to the parts are listed on the left of this page. The guide heading on every page will bring you back to this page.

The guide is produced by CSA’s Legal & Quality Assurance section. CSA staff are expected to follow The guide except where it would result in an anomaly. Staff are expected to report any anomalies to CSA’s Legal & Quality Assurance section so that corrective action can be taken.

Feedback is always welcome.

Note: External users should not use The guide in place of independent legal advice. The Commonwealth accepts no liability for any loss suffered as a result of reliance on any material in The guide.
