Hey congrats Westy, not sure why it would me different over here in the west but the baby bonus is 5k paid out over a period of time..... That's choice one, choice 2 is for the missus to take maternity leave from work for a period of around 4 months, now she will either get a certain amount of pay paid (called paid parental leave) by her company, who then claim it from centrelink, or she may get it from centrelink.......... It's all means tested, so you'll probably need to sit down and work out which option is best for your circumstance. There's a centrelink/family assist questionnaire online that you can do which will help you choose which way to go...........

Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

The $900 is the last of the carbon tax assistance payments I thought.

I think it may have changed of late.
No.1 we had fortnightly maternity leave payments made to use over a months or so on.
But now the Missis recons you get a lump sum, then the rest is split up of a period of time. Which is a good think for first timers and the costs involved in setting up for a child with cots, prams and baby seats.. That's an average of $2000 just there...
I don't need to worry about means testing.. Were a single income family on $56 k a year..
But yea, that will probably go to a new car seat as were borrowing one ATM for when we pick up the nephew.
The old falcon will be fitted with 3 baby seats.. What a look... Lol
