    Hey Beema, go to your Pharmacy or Pharmacies and request a Tax Receipt. They can print off one for you when it comes to scripts as they keep records on their system. Ask for all the family, your DH may have to request his own.
    Really! that is brilliant, thankyou so much for that I will definitely be doing it, I go to the same pharmacy every time, DH accassionally goes to a different one, but he knows where to go now

    I had an OB appointment yesterday and asked there and they had trouble finding the info, but another mum waiting said that she spoke with Medicare and if she passed the Safety Net prior to the large payment of 24 weeks, she was then able to got the standard $260 back, PLUS an extra $200, but if she hadn't passed it priro to that payment she would have received only the $260 back.

    We are with $100 of passing it and I have another OB appointment between now and then so we will be close.... might have to see the GP in the meantime.....
