Ta Jodi, I would assume it be right - but I was thinking of calling them to make sure I wasn't being paid something I'm not entitled to, would hate to have to pay it back!
I am having twins.... I know I get double the bonus but do you think I would be able to space it out over a year??? or get a payment weekly instead of every f/n???
you'll get your baby bonus (both installments) together fortnightly over six months. the only way to not do this would be to not register one baby until six months down the track - and therefore not getting ftb for that baby either until you register it.
you will get both ftb and bb fortnightly - you will initially get both payments same day but you can ask to have your ftb payment moved to the opposite week (you can't change what day baby bonus payments are received)
oh thank you for this info its good to no ,i sorta new anyway but good to know how much ill actually get,im going to put mine into a seperate account and save it hopefully...yeh rite.
Wow, i'm glad I stumbled across this... I was under the impression that it was just under 200 bucks a fn. We're planning on saving it all and using it to help with mortatge repayments during winter when DH's hours go down a bit - longer I can stay on matleave the better!!
