Ive separated from my childs mother/father. Can my child get a pass for subsidised travel from both addresses?
Parents need to have dual custody of the child to be eligible for subsidised travel from both addresses. The child must reside with each parent for part of each week. Subsidised travel is subject to the normal eligibility criteria being met. A copy of the ruling from the Family Law Court should be forwarded to your local Contract and Compliance Office of the Department of Transport for adjudication. If the matter has not gone to the Family Law Court, a statutory declaration signed by both parents which specifies time share arrangements for the child residing at each address should be submitted. Application for subsidised travel only for Friday afternoons and Monday mornings to cover weekend access visits are not eligible under SSTS.
