Immunisation Allowance

[Mother Goose]

Can someone remind me if I need to lodge anything? I cna't recall having to do anything for DD's 18 month immunisations. Also, the centrelink site says the current amount paid is around $125 (give or take in my memory bank) yet with her 18mth ones we got $236.70. Does this mean we are unlikely to receive a payment this time? My understanding is that there is a payment at the 18 month ones as well as the 4-5 year old ones.

Also, roughly, how long does it take to hit the account?

TIA

just subbing....didnt know that you got allowence from CL for immunisations

[melbel]

you used to get one payment at 18 months which is what you would have got MG..then they split it into two payments, half at 18 moths and half at school age...so no you won't get another payment unfortunately.
You would been paid under the old rules and got the full payment in one hit.

if you received 200+ you have received your full entitlement

on jan 1 2009 it changed so that the allowance was paid in two installmants - one around 19 months, the other between four and five. but it is a lesser amount. you have already received all of your DD's

it is automatically applied for with the baby bonus/ftb/paid parental leave in most cases
