Are you better receiving the Australian Baby Bonus or do you get a better financial result with the Paid Parental Scheme. It can be complicated, see below for details.
How is the Baby Bonus paid?
The baby bonus will be cut from $5400 to $5000 from September 2012, and frozen at that level for a further three years, until then the
Baby Bonus is paid per eligible child in 13 fortnightly instalments. From 1 July 2011, customers eligible to receive Baby Bonus will get a higher first instalment of $879.77 and 12 fortnightly instalments of approximately $379.77. The higher first instalment of Baby Bonus will assist with the upfront costs of having a new child.

Grays Online
If you are after some great deals, I just bought some product on www.graysonline.com.au. Its an auction site where stores either go belly up, or they try and clear excess stock. You do need to scan through the categories but every now and then some bargains come up for items such as Baby Monitors and Baby Toys. Note, I am not affiliated at all with the site, but recommending it simply because I have purchased there and found some great bargains. Rememeber, if you do buy from the site, you need to add on the buyers premium of around 15% plus postage. It still can be a lot cheaper than retail.
