The Australian Government made changes from 1st January 2016 to the requirements for Family Assistance Payments.
The Australian Childhood Immunisation Register will be expanded to capture and report on children’s immunisation status for payments up to, and including, 19 years of age. Children not up-to-date with their childhood immunisations will need to follow a catch-up schedule.
‘Conscientious objections’ will be re-termed ‘vaccination objections’ and will no longer be a valid exemption category. Child care assistance and the FTB Part A supplement will not be paid to customers who fail to comply with immunisation requirements, or who do not have a valid exemption
