Second child Centrelink payments

[Rach75]

depends on what your receiving we only get ftb b so no change for us except the maternity payment thing

Hmmmm...

Thanks girls definitely some food for thought, although $150 isn't much, I guess it will help when I was thinking everything stayed the same...

It jumps more when you go from 2 to 3

Ella - I think the $150 would probably only be if you were a single mum with no other income at all? I could be wrong.

With 3, it still depends on income, but you get a large family supplement...I think its a whole $10 or so a fn.

Hmm I will have to find out from Centrelink, can you do that online???

There is a rate estimater on there. I haven't used it, so not sure how it works.

[briggsy's girl]

the estimator will help. go to online services - it's in there

the 150 per fn is the max amount, and would apply to those families whose total annual income is less than about 45k
