Baby Bonus Qu

[HotI]

I have been told it will be another couple of weeks before my Baby Bonus starts. Just wondering if my first payment will be 9 x weekly payment (if bub is 9 weeks) or will it be just the initial payment, and they will add on the payments at the end of the 6 months (or whenever the period finishes).

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks

Add it onto the end as far as I'm aware, it is basically 6 months of payments from when you get your first payment I believe.

Yes I can confirm the same as I just checked mine this morning.
It is the initial payment of ~$880 then 13 x fortnightly installments of ~$380.
