did you include baby bonus in the online claim? usually your baby bonus is paid within two days of your payment being processed - check online again and look at both next and future payments. if it's not on there, ring FAO
i would suggest ringing during the day on Monday so they can go through to the processing team if there has been a processing error
check your online claim to confirm you asked for baby bonus (it has to be done on the claim both online and on the paperwork)
Can't remember about the actual paperwork, but with DS I remember that I got my FTB one week, and the Baby Bonus the next week, and they were fortnightly. So perhaps I got them on different paperwork, but to be honest I can't remember.
I haven't got the Baby Bonus for DD yet due to some hassles with Centrelink and our Tax having only recently been done. I didn't think that tax and salary had anything to do with the Baby Bonus, but apparently they still decided to hold the Baby Bonus until it's all done. It's just been finalised so I'm going to have to call Centrelink and hope that getting it all sorted won't be an issue (as I even had to pay back some money that's actually owed to me as I couldn't "prove" I deserved it).
the first baby bonus would be somewhat noticable on either bank statement or online services when you're talking twins - 1600+
even with a months delay on getting ftb, at the absolute max for a, b and rent, you're only looking maybe 800-900 dollars
ETA - sorry absolute max rates on all payments would be - FTBA 330/fn, ftbb 140/fn, ra 140/fn (ballpark) leaves around 1100 for a month (may be less depending on home ownership status and amount of rent paid and income estimate) - still much less than the first installment of bby for twins (would be around 870 per child)
