When do I get the family tax benifit?

[ziggie]

This has probably been asked 1000 times, but I'm going to ask again! :p

Damien has his own business, & it's really hard to estimate how much he'll earn in the financial year... So when we had Mitch, and they asked if I wanted to recieve payments every fortnight or at the end of the financial year, I chose the latter... But when do I get it? We've just done our tax returns, but haven't received the cheques in the mail yet... Will it come with our refunds? Or do I have to go to a medicare office and ask them?

Thanks for any answers :) .

once centerlink has records of your tax returns they will automatically pay

Do I have to give it to them, or will the tax dept pass the info on for me...:confused:
