If you arrived in Australia on an Australian permanent refugee or humanitarian visa, you do not have to wait to claim payments. You can claim immediately. Our family payments, such as Family Tax Benefit, Child Care Subsidy, Additional Child Care Subsidy, Parental Leave Pay, Dad and Partner Pay and Double Orphan Pension do not have waiting periods. You can claim straight away. You need to meet certain rules to be paid.
