Immunisation requirements for Child Care Benefit Payments

The recently introduced No Jab No Pay policy has resulted in a sharp rise in the number of children being immunised against preventable diseases.

There have been an overwhelming number of families who have ensured they immunise their children before the 18 March deadline.

This increase has resulted in some delays in updating immunisation records by the states and territories.

To ensure families who have up to date immunisation records are not disadvantaged, the Department of Human Services will continue to pay Child Care Benefits until the immunisation register is up to date.

Under the new law which began on 1 January 2016, children must be up to date with their vaccinations, have a valid medical exemption, or be on a catch-up schedule if their parents want to keep receiving Child Care Benefits, the Child Care Rebate and the FTB Part A supplement.

Parents whose children do not meet the immunisation requirements by the 18 March deadline will start incurring a debt, which they’ll have to repay.

Parents who do not intend to vaccinate their child can ask the Department of Human Services to stop their child care subsidies straight away, to avoid incurring a debt.
