Hey Can someone answer my question here?

Are we entitled to any paid maternity leave while we are waiting for 489 -> 887 grant?

Has anyone tried?

 

Thanks.

Nope. We are not. My baby was born on 14/2/18 and I got my pre grant last week when I was out of the country. Really hoping to get my visa granted soon and at least get a couple of weeks paid maternity before she turns one.

What do you mean by paid maternity leave? If you mean, pay by your employer, that depends on your employer totally. If it is paid by your employer then there is no dependency on your visa irrespective of what visa are you in.

If you mean paid maternity leave from centerlink then you should be a PR holder when you deliver a baby.

Centrelink payments are changed from 1st of January 2019. I think you need to wait for 1 year if the PR is granted after 1st of January 2019 for the paid maternity leave from centrelink.

This isn’t true. I know at least 2 girls who got their centrelink paid maternity once their PR was granted. Their application for PR was processing when the baby was born.

Her baby was born November 2017 and her PR was granted July 2018. She got paid her 16 weeks centrelink after that. The other girl was similar dates.

I’ve read all of this and I’ve been to centrelink where they told me I could claim the remainder of my maternity benefit once my pr comes through.

See Centrelink officers differs each other. One person say we can, other one say we cannot. I'm not sure to whom you have consulted, but when i asked them by person and over the phone, they said you cannot, i should  have PR before the baby born.

Also please check new law from 1st Jan 2019, there is a waiting time for 2 years period. For "Peach_at_heart" user, he needs to wait for 2 years.

This is a grey area. ‘Newly arrived resident’ doesn’t apply to me. That’s what I’ve been told by numerous centrelink staff and on the phone. Each claim is different depending on the person and I’ve been told that because I’ve been here since 2012 that I’m not a ‘newly arrived resident’

Anyway, this is a forum about the 887 visa not centrelink payments so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if I get it or not and then I can let you know.

Well that spreadsheet is irrelevant now as in it doesn't indicates the trend of grants anymore..p

I was on a One year contract with an employer working full time 50hrs per week. 52 payslips (06/11/2017 to 09/11/2018)

On the 42nd week I was on Annual leave travelling for the whole week . 

Can I produce this payslip to cover my 52 payslips.

Thanks.

It won't be a problem if you can prove 42nd week was an annual leave. Or you an add extra week payslip/invoice if you did any other job after or before.
