:yelclap: I called our PHI today to ask them a question regarding our insurance and they asked me if I had received our baby bonus from them. Needless to say I was a little confused, turns out that SGIO pay a $350 bonus to you for related expenses (cot, pram, nappies ect.) when you have a baby. Purchases and claims have to be made within 6mths of delivery and you have to send them receipts (I just sent them a receipt for my MCN) they kindly said that they could back date it as I never received a letter from them about it.

Whoo Hoo :smiliedance: I hope it comes through before DS 1st birthday party :fingerscrossed: + :fingerscrossed: = :party:


Benifit also includes home nursing ($75 per day for maximum 65 days) plus other stuff!!

Anyone else heard about this?

MBF doesn't do it :confused:
NRMA, SGIO and the other one (can't remember it yet) do. They're now owned by MBF but they're still seperate.
