98A  Simplified outline
  The following is a simplified outline of this Part:

         • The Registrar can make a determination under this Part to depart from the provisions of this Act relating to administrative assessment of child support for a child.
         • A liable parent or a carer entitled to child support can apply for such a determination, or the Registrar can make a determination on his or her own initiative.
         • The Registrar must not make a determination in respect of a day that is more than 18 months earlier without leave of a court under section 112.
         • The grounds for deciding whether to make a determination are the same as a court uses in deciding whether to make an order under Division 4 of Part 7.
         • If the Registrar is considering making a determination, the parties can make a child support agreement in relation to child support payable for the child instead of the Registrar making the determination.
         • Under section 80 of the Registration and Collection Act, certain persons can object to a decision to make or refuse to make a determination under this Part.
