Can I get Maternity Immunisation Allowance?

You can get Maternity Immunisation Allowance if:

• you and the child meet Australian residency requirements, and
• the child you are claiming for is a dependent child, and
• the child has been fully immunised on schedule, between the ages of 18 and 24 months, or
• the child is on a recognised catch-up schedule, or
• the child has an approved exemption from immunisation, and
• you make a claim before the immunised child turns 2 years old.
