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.

hello mummies im new!

Hello all you great mummies out there,
My name is J and im married. We have one 18m son K who is absolutely mad about Thomas the Tank Engine!!
I work from home which is great so i can choose my own hours.
Hubby is a fitter and turner and is about to start shift work soon.
We are hoping to make a brother or sister for K soon.
Looking forward to chatting to you all.

My neice and nephew are also crazy about Thomas. Thomas everything. Welcome, I am due in September (not long now), can't wait! Good luck in falling pregnant, I must say, you are timed it well, at least you shouldn't have two full time kids in nappies.
Thanks for the good luck, it took nearly a year to fall with K, so hopefully not that long this time round.
Hehe yeah will hopefully have K toilet trained by the time we have another one. He'll hopefully be a good helper too lol.
I dont know what it is about Thomas, but kids just absolutely love him!! Mind you Hubby is a big fan too! He is such a big kid.
Well its another monday and that means more paperwork to do. So id best get into it.
