I just got my maternity immunisation payment, maybe yours is in that?

Nah haven't got the immunisation payment because I haven't lodged my CO form, no advance payments or anything either. But it's only gone up by 23 or so dollars. Which is so helpful but I don't understand why it has gone up because it went up not the long ago.

Is it your family tax advance? The one you can get in Jan and July? Or the immunisation allowance?
telephone allowance?

I just checked mine, can see it broken down if yu go into the payment list and click on the payment amount.

We are getting our one off utilities and telephone allowances - in my case this is about $65 and $17 extra - will probably be more if you're single.

what is the telephone allowance? I haven't heard of it? Is it only for single parents?

what's utilities allowance? I only get the telephone allowance

The telephone allowance is for anyone with a pension card i think, pays $23 per quarter or something like that. They backpaid mine for almost 2 years which was a nice bonus. Apparently if you don't ask, you don't get.

oh ok, we don't have a pension card just a health care card. We get a discount from our electricity supplier, we asked them and they take off $25 per bill, they also back paid it which was really nice!
