Amends the:

Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988
to: enable the Child Support Registrar to use existing employer withholding mechanisms to collect deductible liabilities where a person’s child support liability has ended but they have outstanding child support and related debts; allow the registrar to refuse to issue a departure authorisation certificate where a security is offered unless satisfied that the person will make suitable arrangements to pay their outstanding liabilities; and provide the registrar with an additional method for working out a person’s taxable income for a particular year where they are satisfied that the person is not required to lodge a tax return.
