Launch of social media campaign to reinforce compliance with Child Maintenance orders

Child Maintenance is the regular financial support parents give to ensure security and stability for children by assisting with the costs of raising a child.

The awareness campaign will run across several social media and video platforms from 1 October 2025.

The campaign fulfils a key recommendation of Review of the Enforcement of Child Maintenance Orders, which the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration published in January 2024 with the aim of generating maximum compliance with child maintenance orders, to ensure security and stability for children and to assist with preventing poverty.
