    School kids bonus - secondary

    I have received a payment of $205 for the school kids bonus, but my daughter starts high school this year. I was under the impression it's was 2x $410 payments for secondary, and primary is 2x $205 payments.
    Can anyone clarify this?

    Schoolkids Bonus

    I think you're right. At least, that's what it says on their web page. Perhaps give them a call??

    I'd say it still has her listed as primary and not secondary in their system. Maybe call them and they might be able to fix it up.

    When my dd1 started school last year i had to log into the centrelink app and update her schooling status.

    Is this the case?

    Thanks, I just updated centerlink website to say secondary school, but it asked me the dates starting & finishing secondary school, but wouldn't let me out a finish date as more than 12 months from now. So it's listed as her finishing secondary school at the end of the year. Think I'll have to call them. *groan*
