Immunisation requirements are changing - Jan 1, 2016

rareking

Dumating anak namin dito 8 years old na. So yung mga immunusation nya ay lahat sa pinas ginawa. Just in case meron na nakapag research tungkol dito sa bagong policy na ito. Ano po yung next step applicable sa case natin?

Eto po yung new policy. Binasa ko na po pero wala akong makita tungkol dun sa immigrants:

From 1 January 2016, immunisation requirements for family payments, including Child Care Benefit, Child Care Rebate and Family Tax Benefit Part A supplement, are changing.

These changes will also affect customers who receive Grandparent Child Care Benefit, Special Child Care Benefit or Jobs, Education and Training Child Care Fee Assistance.

To receive a family payment for a child under 20 years of age, you need to make sure their immunisations are up to date.

You can check your child’s immunisation details on their immunisation history statement on the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register.

From 1 January 2016, the Immunisation Register will also be expanded to support this change and will record immunisation information for children and young people under 20 years old.

This will allow you to view the immunisation history statement of a child under 14 years of age using:

your Medicare online account through myGov, or
the Express Plus Medicare mobile app
Children 14 years of age or older will be able to access their own immunisation history statement either by calling the Immunisation Register or using their Medicare online account through myGov.

If you are unable to access your child’s immunisation history statement online, you can obtain a copy by calling the Immunisation Register.

Next steps:
If you’re currently receiving payments and your child is not up to date with their immunisations, or we’re unable to check your child’s record with the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register, we’ll contact you before your payments are affected
If there’s a medical reason why your child can’t be vaccinated, you need to talk to your general practitioner
