Families on certain welfare payments will see a slight boost in fortnightly payments, while others will get support until their youngest child is a teenager under new government legislation.
Social Services Minister Christian Porter on Wednesday introduced a revamped families package to parliament that supersedes 2014 budget measures stalled in the Senate.
Mr Porter said the package enhanced day-to-day support for families in a fiscally-responsible manner, and savings from the measure would fund a new childcare package.
