I just took my forms into my nearest Centrelink office and I think it only took just over a week for my payments to start.

they give you the paperwork in hospital-i got Dh to fill it at at take it n before i got home!!

i went searching on the centrelink site after posting this and you can do it online and it says it will be processed within 14 days. i am pretty sure it said within 6 weeks on the forms when i had DD and i got it 4 weeks after.

If youre already using Clink online it should be quicker id think, i plan on doing it all online

i think you still have to take the paper formn as well as it has the hospitl certification on the back......we had parts of the paper form to fil in and parts to fill in online....as the PP said it won't make it any quicker to get your money...ours was processed an payments started within a few days.
