I was suprised by how quickly it did come through. I think it was about 2 weeks.

If you are already in their 'system' and recieving benefits of any sort form them, then it is usually quicker, but if you are new to Family Assistance/Centrelink, then it can take a little longer.

Ours took 4 weeks from when I submitted the for to when I recieved the money. There was a long weekend (Easter) in the middle of that, and thats always a bit of a write off in terms of getting anuthing done.

timeliness standard is to have 70% of all claims processed within 3 weeks of all information (form, and other details over phone or net, any additional verification documents) being provided

if you're actively receiving family tax benefit for another child, you only need to provide your form
