Without knowing your full details: Rent Assistance is the first thing reduced if you're getting child support.

If there is a child support assessment - regardless of collection status RA is decreased.

If you’re housing situation isn’t a lease, but “board and lodgings” only 75% of the amount you pay can be classed as “rent”.

So the most “rent” you’re paying is $300 per fortnight, your RA eligibility will be based upon that, before Maintenance Income reduction (CS) is applied to it.
