Do I need the birth certificate?

[Tinks]

I'm not sure about PPL but the hospital fill in a form in the baby book thingy that you give to Centrelink as proof of birth.

Thanks Tinks, this is what I have been reading on other forums. But I think I may call just in case. Centerlink website just keeps saying 'proof of birth' which could be many things.

You only need the form provided by the hospital.

I received my payments at least 3 weeks before her actual birth cert arrived.

Dont waste time on hold to centrelink especially this time of year they are far to busy and I can swear to you my information is correct

Thank you Beatrix! If I can avoid Centrelink I definitely will
