Welcome to the Family Assistance Office websiteThe Family Assistance Office has been set up by the Australian Government to give Australian families better access to government services. Instead of going to different agencies to get family assistance, families are able to get all their payments from just one place - the Family Assistance Office.
Family Assistance Offices have been set up in Medicare Australia offices, Centrelink Customer Service Centres and Australian Taxation Office shopfronts across the country, offering a range of payments to support families with their work and family responsibilities. |
