mum was telling me the other day that i will get about $400 because i have a child in primary school. i have never heard of this. she was saying it will be paid next month? can anyone shed some light on this for me? i had a quick search of the centerlink online site but couldnt find anything. my DD is in prep this year. thanks
It's $800 for primary school and $400 for high school. Was in papers over the weekend so just google it.
You will only get it if you get Family Tax A is my understanding.
If you receive FT you will receive $400 for a primary school student and $800 for high school.

There is a link by me about this in the News and a current affair section of the forum.
thanks astrolady, i just found your link. interesting. sounds like it will be more simple if it goes ahead.
it still has to be formally announced in the budget and then pass through legislation
Can I be controversial and ask if you get FTB why do you need an extra payment???
Isn't FTB to help pay for the costs of raising children?
Eta: I don't mean anyone specifically!!! I am talking generally!!
Because they like to butter us up with cash payments so we will vote for them or to take the attention away from something that isn't so nice. YAY we all get a cash payment... Booo see how many welfare payments are going to get cut also?:
Funny you write this, we were just having the same conversation!:
I really don't understand these forms of payments, especially with the FTB etc in place.
That would be lovely, but not the case!:
Isn't this payment to replace the educational tax rebate that you could claim each financial year...so it is money you may have already been getting you just don't have to keep receipts now

I didn't get that either.
From the way it's been written up, yes it is:
