the child has not turned 16.
Note: The definition of dependent child in subsection (2) requires:

(b) a child to be in an adult’s care: subsection (17) deals with the circumstances in which a child is taken to remain in an adult’s care.
(16)
For the purpose of determining whether a person is the principal carer of a child, the person is taken to be legally responsible (whether alone or jointly with another person) for the day‑to‑day care, welfare and development of the child if:
(a)
the person is the step‑parent of the child; and
(b)
the person is living with the child and a parent of the child; and
(c)
the person and the parent are members of the same couple.
This subsection does not, by implication, affect the determination of whether a person is taken to be legally responsible (whether alone or jointly with another person) for the day‑to‑day care, welfare and development of a child in cases to which this subsection does not apply.
(17)
For the purpose of determining whether a person is the principal carer of a child, the child is taken to remain in the person’s care if:

at the start of a period not exceeding 8 weeks, the child leaves the person’s care; and
(b)
throughout the period, the child is the dependent child of another person; and
(c)
the child returns, or the Secretary is satisfied that the child will return, to the first person’s care at the end of the period.
This subsection does not, by implication, affect the determination of whether a child is in the care of a person in cases to which this subsection does not apply (for example, if the period exceeds 8 weeks).
Principal carer—a child can only have one principal carer
(18)
Only one person at a time can be the principal carer of a particular child.
(19)
If the Secretary is satisfied that, but for subsection (18), 2 or more persons (adults) would be principal carers of the same child, the Secretary must:
(a)
make a written determination specifying one of the adults as the principal carer of the child; and
(b)
give a copy of the determination to each adult.
(20)
The Secretary may make the determination even if all the adults have not claimed a social security payment that is based on, or would be affected by, the adult being the principal carer of the child.
Principal carer—which member of a couple can be a principal carer
(20A)
Subject to subsection (20B), a person is not the principal carer of any child if:
(a)
the person is a member of a couple; and
(b)
the other member of the couple is, or apart from this subsection would be, the principal carer of one or more children; and
(c)
the other member of the couple is receiving parenting payment, youth allowance, jobseeker payment or special benefit; and
(d)
the payment, allowance or benefit is based on or affected by the other member of the couple being the principal carer of a child.
(20B)
If:
(a)
a member of a couple is receiving, or has made a claim for, a social security payment that is or would be based on or affected by the person being the principal carer of a child; and
(b)
the other member of the couple is receiving, or has made a claim for, a social security payment that is or would be based on or affected by the person being the principal carer of a child; and
(c)
apart from subsection (20C), the application of subsection (20A) would, or would if the claim or claims were granted, prevent each member of the couple from being the principal carer of any child;
the Secretary must determine in writing that one of them can be a principal carer of a child.
(20C)
The determination has effect accordingly, despite subsection (20A).
(20D)
The Secretary must give a copy of the determination to each member of the couple.
Principal carer—child absent from Australia
(21)
If a child:
(a)
leaves Australia temporarily; and
(b)
continues to be absent from Australia for more than 6 weeks;
a person cannot be the principal carer of the child at any time after the 6 weeks while the child remains absent from Australia unless, at that time:
(c)
the child is in the company of a person to whom Division 2 of Part 4.2 applies; and
(d)
but for this subsection, the person would be the principal carer of the child; and
(e)

(i)
that the person was receiving immediately before the person’s absence from Australia; or
(ii)
the person’s claim for which was granted during the absence;
has not ended.

Endnote 6Appendix

This endnote sets out an Appendix to the Social Security Act 1991 .

CPI (Consumer Price Index) adjusted amounts

Part 3.16 (sections 1189 to 1206G) of the Social Security Act 1991 provides for the indexation and adjustment of certain amounts mentioned in the Act.

The resulting changes in those amounts are not the subject of formal amendment of the Act itself and, therefore, are not incorporated in the main text of this compilation.

The affected provisions, incorporating adjusted figures can be found at the Department of Social Services.
