This part gives a background to the introduction of the child support scheme, its objects and details of legislative changes to the scheme.
The Guide is the Child Support Agency's technical resource, setting out CSA's guide to the administration of the child support scheme.
The Guide is produced and edited by CSA's Technical & Quality Assurance section.
It is organised into parts, chapters and topics. The menu to the left of the page provides links to all parts of The Guide and the “Home” link on every page will return you to this page.
To search The Guide for specific information or topics use the search box at the top right of the page or the a-z alphabetic listing of topics which is accessed from the left of the page.
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 Technical & Quality Assurance section so that corrective action can be taken.
Feedback is always welcome. CSA can not guarantee that all suggestions will receive a response or be acted upon.
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.
