Vickers and Child Support Registrar (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered the appeal of Ms. Vickers against a decision of the Child Support Registrar. The dispute concerned the Registrar's refusal to revoke existing percentage of care determinations made under the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* (Cth). Ms. Vickers contended that there had been a change to the likely pattern of care for the child.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the Registrar's decision to refuse to revoke the existing percentage of care determinations was correct. This involved assessing whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care for the child, as contemplated by the relevant provisions of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988*.

The Tribunal affirmed the Registrar's decision, finding that there was no change to the likely pattern of care for the child. The evidence presented did not establish a sufficient alteration in the established care arrangements to warrant a revocation of the existing determinations. Consequently, the Tribunal refused to revoke the existing percentage of care determinations.
