Main supporter of secondary pupil child
5G Main supporter of secondary pupil child
If someone is a secondary pupil child of a person, the person is the main supporter of the secondary pupil child, subject to subsection (2).
Subsections 5(18) to (22) (inclusive) and subsection 5(24) apply for the purposes of determining whether a person is the main supporter of a secondary pupil child in the same way as they apply for the purposes of determining whether a person is the principal carer of a child.
Subsections 5(18) to (20D) (inclusive) are about identifying the one person who is the principal carer of a child. Subsections 5(21), (22) and (24) prevent a person from being the principal carer of a child who has left Australia and has been absent from Australia for more than 6 weeks.
