The Government's announced a suite of policies it expects to raise the incomes of 350 thousand families.
It includes a $15 a week increase to the family tax credit for the eldest child and $13 for subsequent children.
The best start payment's also going up by $5 a week to $65.
The new payments come into force in April next year.
