The No Jab, No Pay measure will be introduced on Friday 1 January, meaning all children under 20 must be fully immunised or on a catch-up schedule to remain eligible for Child Care Benefit, Child Care Rebate and the Family Tax Benefit Part A Supplement.
Minister for Human Services Stuart Robert said the measures aim to protect
children against vaccine-preventable diseases and to boost childhood immunisation coverage to protect the community.
