Q's for non vaxers re the CO form

[briggsy's girl]

didn't they recently change the FTA/B supplement so you only get it if you are up to date/CO form signed for vax s?

Yes. Ftba supplement is tied to being up to date with vax or having co lodged. There are three years in which up to 726 per year won't be paid at reco if not up to date. So even if you are not going to use child are its still worth lodging the form

I printed it off:http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/...ction_form.pdf
(one for each child) and took it to my GP. He signed it no worries.


I decided to have the forms filled in because of the changes to FTB (http://bellabirthwithcatherine.tumbl...st/13418849407)

ok thank you.. I just got a letter reminding me DS's vax aren't up to date..

BG - Is there a $726 that i should have received?

ETA: i just looked through my records and it shows:

FTB part a arrears payment, then FTB part B arrears payment supplement.. Is that what you're talking about?

Only your gmfyb supplements if all your tax details are finalized. Lots of threads about it. Can't link from my phone though

[Shanti]

Yeah if you don't fill one out, you'll keep getting mail from centrelink saying you haven't had your immunisations up to date therefore payments etc can be affected or something like that..... not sure exactly but yeah we keep getting mail unless we do ours!
Only just did DD2's 3 weeks ago!
