    Can you post the link for where you read that on the Centrelink website? I am interested to have a look.

    I still thought that everyone got the baby bonus as long as you and your partner earn less than $75000 in the 6 months following the baby's birth and it isn't paid as a lump sum anymore - instead 13 fortnightly installments.

    Well that's what I thought anyway . . . but I could be very wrong.

    Sorry - not much help really.

    Looking at the requirements, I can't see it. Perhaps it was something that was proposed but wasn't implemented?

    I was under the impression that, aside from the new income threshold, everybody is entitled to claim it, working or not.

    Could that be referring to the new maternity allowance for working mothers seperate to the $5000 already in place?
