      Chapter 3A—Dad and partner pay
      Chapter 3A sets out when dad and partner pay is payable to a person. The key provisions for the Chapter are found in Part 3A‑1.
      A person can only be paid dad and partner pay if the Secretary makes a determination that dad and partner pay is payable to the person. Part 3A‑2 has rules about when the Secretary can make that determination.
      The Secretary cannot make that determination if the person is not eligible for dad and partner pay. Part 3A‑3 has the rules about eligibility. For the main case, to be eligible a person must (broadly):
         (a) satisfy the work test, the income test and the Australian residency test; and
         (b) be caring for the child; and
         (c) not be working.
      The Secretary also cannot make that determination if the person has not made a claim for dad and partner pay. Part 3A‑4 has the rules about claims.
      Part 3A‑5 sets out how dad and partner pay is paid to a person. Generally, dad and partner pay is paid by the Secretary as a single payment.
