    Oh thank you yeh im single they said ill get $500 parenting payment and 270 for family assistance so i think that sounds right
    plus you will get $385 a fortnite baby bonus over the 1st 6 months on top of that so u will get approx 1100 a fortnite for the first 6 months then about 750 a fortnight after that. the ATO website has a rate estimator you put in all your details and it will give you an idea of waht your entitled to. remember if you worked at all in this financial year (e.g. july 08 til now) you will need to include that in your estimate and it will lessen your payments.

    sorry TM - hate to do this, but any income earned this year will not impact on PPS - if you're on PPS, you get max rate ftba and ftbb - the ONLY thing that changes that is child support entitlement

    BG: cheers for clearing that up :P i was just going off what ill be getting for PPP...seems abit unfair that any income earned this yr doesnt count towards PPS but counts towards my PPP??
