1.1.S.104 Standard rate child (CCS)
From 10 July 2023 for the purposes of the higher CCS for families with multiple children (1.2.6), a standard rate child is usually the eldest CCS eligible child aged 5 or under.
The standard rate child will get the standard CCS rates.
The following conditions need to be satisfied for a child to be a standard rate child:
- an individual or their partner must be eligible for CCS in relation to the child
- the family must earn below $362,408
- there must be at least one other child in the same family who is a higher rate child (1.1.H.15)
- the child must be the eldest child aged 5 or under in the family, unless there are multiple children born on the same day in which case Services Australia will determine a particular child to be the standard rate child.
