Requests are referred to a social worker or an ISO for advice and assistance. Some applicants who are older than 17 are also referred to social workers or specialist workers. As discussed above, family assistance legislation and the Family Assistance Guide do not contain a definition of family violence.
A legislative definition of family violence that is consistent across family assistance, social security and child support legislation, may assist social workers and specialist officers in determining whether a person has been the victim of family violence. The ALRC is interested in whether, in practice, victims of family violence are referred to social workers, ISOs and MSOs, when claiming the baby bonus, particularly in light of the lack of screening for family violence by Centrelink, as discussed above.
The ALRC is also interested in whether these officers have sufficient access to information about family violence protection orders and child protection orders related to the baby bonus applicant. As noted above, providing social workers with access to a national register may assist them in obtaining relevant documentation to assist victims of family violence, but may also lead to privacy concerns.
Question 36 What, if any, reforms are needed to ensure that baby bonus applicants who are victims of family violence are referred to social workers, Indigenous Service Officers and Multicultural Service Officers? Question 37 What, if any, reforms are needed to ensure that social workers, Indigenous Service Officers and Multicultural Service Officers are able to access information about whether a baby bonus applicant has a protection order or a child subject to child protection?
Child Care Benefit CCB is an income-tested payment that assists eligible parents and carers with the cost of child care. This includes having a licence to operate, qualified and trained staff, being open certain hours, and meeting health, safety and other quality standards.
CCB is also available where child care is provided by a person who has been approved as a registered carer by the FAO. The focus of this section is on whether increased payments of CCB effectively protect children who experience abuse. Therefore, CCB provided by registered carers will not be given further consideration.
CCB may be paid to the approved child care service and passed on to the person as a fee reduction; or the person may pay child care fees and claim CCB as a lump sum at the end of the financial year. SCCB may be approved for up to the total amount of weekly child care fees. If an approved service believes a child is at risk of serious abuse or neglect, it may approve SCCB or increased weekly hour limits for a maximum of 13 weeks.
