    Hon - I don't know if I am reading this correctly (because 2 little misses have had me up since 4.30am) but our Baby Bonus never showed up on our online payment list on the Family Assistance website. The only payments it shows are the FTB payments, and any payments we get for our Childcare rebate. The baby bonus just showed up in our bank account one day. We got a letter informing us of when it started and the end date, but that was after it started. I just logged onto my banking on day and there was extra money there - yay!

    the first payment should have an extra $500 - it may list differently to your other payments. to be honest, i haven't looked at online services to see what it appears like as i haven't come across anyone asking

    they reduced the fortnightly installments from around 407 to 370ish and pay the additional amount (500) as a lump sum at the start.

    it may not show as a seperate payment if it's made on the same day as ftb payments
