Maternity Immunisation Allowance
Changes to the Maternity Immunisation Allowance from 1 January 2009
Maternity Immunisation Allowance (MIA) is a non-income tested payment that is generally paid as two separate amounts. The first amount will be paid if your child is fully immunised between 18-24 months and the second amount will be paid if your child is fully immunised between 4 and 5 years of age.
Please Note: For parents who claim MIA for children adopted from overseas, depending on the age of your child when they entered Australia, you may receive MIA as one full amount.
