The immunisation requirements for Child Care Assistance and the Child Care Cash Rebate required children to meet the relevant age-specific immunisation schedule or be exempt. There was also an exemption specifically for members of the Church of Christ, Scientist. In , MIA was converted into two equal payments paid when children met the month and 4-year old immunisation requirements.
The FTB-A supplement requirements were different from those that applied to the MIA—families needed to have their children meet the relevant immunisation schedules when they turned one, two and five years old to be eligible to receive the supplement for that financial year.
In April , the Abbott Government announced that it would close off conscientious objection and religious exemptions from the immunisation requirements for eligibility for the FTB-A supplement, Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate. The removal of these exemptions, and a new requirement for children of all ages to meet immunisation requirements for the FTB-A supplement including children older than four years , were included in the —16 Budget as part of a package of measures aimed at boosting rates of immunisation—the policy was known as No Jab, No Pay.
The changes commenced from 1 January , and included free catch up vaccinations for older children who had not received all the required NIP childhood vaccinations.
Maternity Immunisation Allowance will be indexed for movements in the Consumer Price Index once a year on 1 July, instead of twice a year in March and September. Maternity Immunisation Allowance is a non-means tested payment to encourage parents to have their children fully vaccinated, where appropriate. Maternity Immunisation Allowance is also payable for children adopted outside Australia who arrive in Australia before the age of 16 years and who are immunised to an appropriate level by their fifth birthday or within two years of their arrival, whichever is later.
