    So i finally got to the bottom of it.... And im STILL not happy!

    After speaking today to Medicare twice and the local council where Toby had his immunisations, it turns out that they only gave him half of one vaccine. He had Hib 3, without the Hepatitis B3! When i asked the council this morning why he wasn't given Hep B as well, she said, "the nurse on the day CHANGED the immunisations and Toby still needs to have Hep B"! I asked why on earth i wasn't told this on the day and she said "oh im sorry". I said that my Child Care Benefit had been cancelled beacuse of this and again was told "im sorry".

    Now he has to have the Hep B injection on Saturday, then they're going to contact Medicare and update the register on Monday, then i have to go into Medicare and get updated history and then take it into Centrelink so that they'll restart my CCB!

    In the meantime, i pay full price childcare!

    If they had given him the CORRECT immunisation to start with, none of this would be happening! I now have to cancel clients that i have booked for Monday in order to sort all of this out. Not a very good look when it's your own business!

    BG: If you read this, what are my chances of getting backpay since in his book, it states that all of his immunisations were up to date to my knowledge? The Hib3-Hepatitis B3 box has been stamped as though both were given.
