This may sound strange, but you get paid for immunising your child? I had no idea..Can someone fill me in or tell me where to go for info please :o

I think maybe I need to do some reading about these iss-ewes.

when ur child is between 18 and 24 months and has been immunised the u receive a bonus about $200 (i think)

Try this link as part of the FAO

the payment is made by centrelink. if you are unsure, give them a call and make sure you have filled out all the necessary paperwork. It should get put automatically into your bank account (if you elect for that) once your child has had all the recommended immunisations up to age 18 months. If they are all on schedule I think you should get the payment when your child is about 19 months old.
