74. (1) Where:

   (a)  child support is payable for a child; and

   (b)  the Registrar is notified of, or otherwise becomes aware of:

        (i)    the happening of a child support terminating event in relation
               to:

                (A)  the child; or

                (B)  a person who is or was a
                     custodian entitled to child support, or a liable parent,
                     in relation to the child; or

                (C)  the child, and a person who is or was a
                     custodian entitled to child support, and a person who is
                     or was a liable parent, in relation to the child; or

        (ii)   the happening of an event or change of circumstances that
               affects the annual rate at which the child support is payable
               under this Act; the Registrar must immediately take such action
               as is necessary to take account of the happening of the event
               or change of circumstances (whether by amending any
               administrative assessment or otherwise).

(2) Nothing in subsection (1) is to be taken to prevent the Registrar from
taking such action as the Registrar considers appropriate to take account of
the likely happening of an event or change of circumstances of which the
Registrar is notified or otherwise becomes aware (whether by amending any
administrative assessment or otherwise).
