myGov and family law

A media release from the Minister of Human Services this week announced the launch of a new smart phone app called "Express Plus Child Support".

The new app is designed to allow parents to view letters and other communications, keep track of child support payments, update their contact and account details and advise of any important changes in their circumstances. Parents can even make payments using the app.

According to the media release if registered for myGov parents can download the Express Plus Child Support app.

This new app is the latest step in the expansion of myGov services. But other existing myGov services are also of relevance in family law matters. For example, through a myGov account it is possible to claim a range of Centrelink payments and the Centrelink Express Plus app can be used to interact with the Department in relation to those benefits. Also, once registered for myGov you can link with the ATO and then search for superannuation interests and their current balances.
