FTB Part A and eligibility for other payments/services
Hello
I was hoping our lovely FAO fairy might be able to answer this question. There are a number of additional payments/support that are available to families who receive FTB Part A. Is this the complete list, or are there others?
* School kids bonus (twice a year)
* Part A supplement (at end of fin year)
* Medicare - eligibility for FTB Part A brings the extended safety net threshold down by $600odd.
Are there any others that I've missed? I am trying to work out the flow on effects of being nudged out of FTB eligibility.

We now qualify for A and B because I'm on maternity leave, so I was doing the paperwork a couple of weeks ago. I believe there's a payment associated with large families. We get a tiny bit because of our third child.
Sorry, can't think of any others though.
ETA: Sorry md, I can't recall if you have more than two kids!
^ Large family supplement. I think I get $22 a f/n? It was only about $11 when I first noticed it & I can't even remember if that was before or after DD3.
Other benefits while receiving Family Tax Benefit
If you qualify for Family Tax Benefit Part A and Part B, you may be entitled to other payments and benefits.
If you share care of a child for at least 14 per cent of the time (two or more nights per fortnight), you may be able to receive Rent Assistance, a Health Care Card, Remote Area Allowance, Child Care Benefit, and access to the lower threshold of the Medicare Safety Net.
