What Residence Requirements does Maternity Immunisation Allowance have?

To be eligible for Maternity Immunisation Allowance you must be an Australian resident - this means you have been living in Australia on a permanent basis and you are either:

  • an Australian citizen, or
  • the holder of a permanent resident visa
  • the holder of Special Category Visa - someone who arrived on a NZ passport, or
  • the holder of a particular temporary visa - these are known as "spouse provisional" or "interdependency" or "temporary protection" visas.

Important Note: changes to the Australian residence requirements do not affect New Zealand citizens claiming this payment in Australia.
