So, we are in the process of determining how long I will be able to take off work when our little one arrives. I am entitled to 12 mionths UNPAID maternity leave, and am probably going to take the Paid Parental Leave instead of Baby Bonus. I was wondering what other centerlink payments I may be entitled to? I would like to take as long off as possible, but understand that I may have to go back part time at some point.

Thanks heaps for any advise, we need it. I have attempted to use the family assistance comparison thing on the internet, but it is making me more confused, not less

Once the paid maternity leave ends, other benefits will depend on the household income. You may or may not be entitled to tax a or b benefits, and potentially rent assistance if you are currently renting.
We get tax a and rent assistance. I also rang to see if there was something else I could get but they said no.
I find it completely impossible to work it out online. You are best to give them a call. Good luck!
