Must be quick - but i think some employers will commence payments straight away, others will not commence until they receive the $ from centrelink which I guess could take that 6 weeks.
Depends on how your payroll department has this structured.
Yeah this. It's not clink that paid her that quickly. Some employers pay knowing they have the funds coming. Others won't. The advice you were given is right. Assume AT LEAST 28 days for clink to process ( realistically at the moment 6+ weeks is more realistic) then your employer has to accept the payments and then payments be sent to them for delivery. If they accept today but they needed funds tomorrow to fit the next pay cycle it won't be ready til next pay cycle as it takes a couple of days to get from fao to employer.

As you were advised in the other thread, start saving now. Don't assume because your baby is due on x date you will have ppl paid immediately from that date. There are many things that can delay your funds being received. Assume you will have a significant period of time you need to budget without the funds.

This sort of delay has been the case for well over 12 months so I would assume the timing will be similar in six months when you birth your bub. My suggestion is to make some serious cuts in spending now so that you're used to it before bub arrived, and you won't struggle so much without the payments. And the savings will help with baby items or savings for that first couple of months.

This is doable. You just have to make some changes in budget and lifestyle. Wich is going to have to happen with bub anyway.
