I recieved a letter today stating that this payment ceases on July 1.
I recieved a payment last fortnight, so I wasn't worried... but then I realised I didn't know which child I'd actually recieved it for! (It doesn't say online... I checked ) DD3 is almost 19 months & DS is 4. I can't remember when they started splitting it into 2 part payments either (it was one payment at 18 months with my girls).
Since DD was only just 18 months (by about 3 days) & DS had turned 4 & had his needles a month prior, could that have been his payment? The letter only mentioned DD's name, so I assume thats because I haven't recieved hers yet? She'll be 19 months in a few days... (I think its usually paid with in the month of being that age).
I actually forgot the payment had been split & can't remember how it was for DS. And I assume this means I won't get the second part of DD's payment?
They should have my medicare details, so I shouldn't have to do anything, but there's nothing in my past or future payments list to assume I'll be getting another Immunisation payment?
ETA; Maybe this should be in the c'link forum... Sorry guys!
I don't know... My health nurse from years ago refused to do them before the date they were whatever age. Yet DS had his 4y ones done the day before his b'day with no worries
MCHN or council open sessionscant do them early something to do with the funding but GP can. I know DS1 had his chicken pox early as I wanted him to have it before DS2 was born so he had it at 17 months
Its difficult to understand! I just reread it & it says that they plan to increase immunisations rates over time, but maternity immunisation allowance will cease as part of these changes... It doesn't actually explain the changes.
