there is a whole thread in the centrelink forums titled $600 per child payment or something like that - there are huge explanations in there

as has been mentioned, there is a payment of about $600 per child per year (ftba supplement - if parents qualify for ftba and haven't been overpaid), $300 per family if you qualify for ftbb (and haven't been over paid).

the amounts have increased, but the reference is made to $600 per child as that is what it started at


ETA - ali - you'll get a pro rata amount for the number of days you had dd in the fin year. for instance - the full 365 days is 686 for ftba - for us, we had E for 33 days in the fin year, so we will get 33/365 of that (daily amount is 1.88 or there abouts, we'll get 33x1.88 so about $59.40) for you, you've had bubba about a third of the year so you might get about $200-ish. go scope out that thread i mentioned, it's really in depth (don't have time to repeat - bubba wants me!)
