What is “No Jab, No Pay”?

Page last updated 22 November 2022

“No Jab, No Pay” is an Australian Government initiative to help ensure all children are fully immunised in line with the National Immunisation Program (NIP). 

Children must meet the immunisation requirements for Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Part A and Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Families need to ensure all children under 20 years of age are fully immunised in line with the NIP schedule or have a medical exemption recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).

If your child has missed out on the recommended vaccines in the NIP, they are eligible to be vaccinated through a 'catch-up' program. For more information speak with your healthcare practitioner.
