Tried FAO today for a few hours - they are obviously flat out.

My Online services also updated - to saying that it's been paid into my account!! It hasn't shown yet in my bank account but I'll keep an eye on it. Will try FAO tomorrow afternoon when I get home again... I should be calling FAO shouldn't I??

I thought it was only if your child was grade 1 or above - I'm sure I remember our accountant saying we didn't qualify under the old scheme, even though we pay private school fees. Would love to be wrong and have it be purely by age - DD1 was 5 on 2 May and is in pre-primary. Would be a very nice little surprise if we qualify!

I was entitled for DD2 when she was in kindy (NSW) she was 4, turned 5 on June 5, so LuluHB, you should be entitled.

DS isn't 5 til next March.

For this year, your child has to have turned 5 by end of july and be a qualifying ftb child on budget night

Woohoo!!!!

[Liviam]

Does this apply to pre-school or does the child have to be in prep or above?

Thou had to be eligible for ftb on may 8, and have a child born between August 1,2000 and July 31 2007 (from memory) to qualify for primary payment. It may be 2001 and 2007 as the years. I'm in bed. Too slack to go looking tonight!!
