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.......
yes it is a little empty in here, sure it will fill up soon. I too am just pregnant and looking at digesting all the baby information out there at the moment. Hopefully will be able to get some handy information from these sites
