Superannuation Act 1916

A pension payable under this Act in respect of a child shall be paid to the child’s mother, if living, or, if she is not living, to the child’s father, if living.

Notwithstanding anything elsewhere contained in this Act, any money payable out of the Fund under this Act in respect of a child may, at the discretion of STC, be paid to the child’s guardian or expended by STC for the benefit of the child.

Not more than one pension may be paid in respect of the one child during any one period and where, but for this subsection, pensions would be payable, in respect of the child, of the appropriate amount per fortnight under both section 61M and section 61N, the pension payable shall be that of the appropriate amount per fortnight under section 61N.
