I got a phone call this afternoon in regards to Lucinda's birth certificate.
Because Lucinda was born at home unassisted by any medical staff we apparently now need to lodge stat decs. The BD&M lady did tell me they need one for the address that she was born at and also for her being born.

I'm just wondering what type of things we should have written on the stat dec? When it is sent out to us, will it have certain questions we will answer?

Also, I am yet to receive baby bonus even though we lodged online while I was still pregnant. I was told it could take up to 3 weeks to come through. Lucinda is 4 weeks old tomorrow. Could the delay be due to the birth certificate stuff or should that not matter as we have already lodged paperwork and we showed the blue book and other info we got from the midwives?

This is all very new and confusing to me. I hope someone out there can help
TIA.
