Immunisation allowance?

[~clover~]

Do they still pay this?

If they do is it still at 18 months or so??

DS hasn't had his 18 month needles yet (been sick), but I just wanted to check if they still paid it & when.

TIA

I think it's paid at either 18 months or 2 years (when the final infant injections are given). Then I think there's another one paid after the preschool injections are given. I was reading about it the other day because I wanted to know.

There are no others til 4 though? Well not at 2. That I know of. Have they changed them?
Never heard anything about 2 payments before...hmmm.

They have split the payment into 2 to make sure that you get their 4yo needles done It's a payment of $122.?? from memory and it will be paid once they have confirmation that you have either vaccinated them or lodged a conscientious objection form.

it changed to 2 now one at 18months and one at 4

Oh, ok then. So that doesn't mean I'll get another one for DD2 then, lol.
Kinda makes sence I guess...coulda been handy though.

Just gotta wait for them both to get better...DD is 4 months overdue, DS 1 month. We'll get there.

Thanks guys

one between 18 months and 2 - if you haven't had the payment by 23 months, make enquiries as i think, if it's stayed the same, if it's not paid by 24 months it won't be paid at all. the other is after 4 year old needles.

Yep, you get one payment at 18 months, and then the other at 4 years.
