What is the “Maternity Immunisation Allowance” provided by the government?
The Maternity Immunisation Allowance is a payment made to mothers for children aged 18-24 months who are fully immunised. It is still possible to receive this payment if you have an approved exemption from immunisation. This allowance is given as a one off payment to families and the allowance is not income tested. Visit the Australian Family Assistance Office for more information.
