6. Amending an Assessment The CSA can amend an assessment to take into account changed circumstances. The reasons why an assessment may be amended include (but are not limited to): • correcting any error or mistake (whether or not made by the CSA) • correcting the effect of any false or misleading statement made to the Registrar • giving effect to a terminating event • giving effect to a care determination or interim care determination • giving effect to a change in a parent's or non-parent carer's percentage of care • giving effect to an event or change of circumstances that affects the annual rate of child support • giving effect to the Registrar's acceptance of a child support agreement • giving effect to a decision of the AAT, or • giving effect to a decision or order of a court which has jurisdiction under either the CSA Act, CSRC Act or AAT Act. 7. Objecting an Assessment Unless it is to correct an error or mistake, generally, the CSA will not change a decision once it has been made. A parent may lodge an objection if they want the Registrar to reconsider a decision and change the assessment. Circumstances where it would be appropriate to lodge an objection to the CSA's original decision include if the facts are not clear; if there is new information that one parent has not had an opportunity to comment upon; or if there is a dispute about the facts. It is not appropriate to change a decision at the request of one parent. A parent who failed to provide information to the Registrar before the original decision was made may be able to make a new application based on the relevant information (e.g. a new change of assessment application). Otherwise, the parent may object to the original decision and the CSA will take that new information into account when considering the objection. If parents believe that the CSA has made a mistake of fact and/or applied the law incorrectly they may object to that decision. If a parent lodges an objection, the CSA must reconsider the original decision, taking into account any relevant new information.
