Maternity immunisation allowance
Maternity Immunisation Allowance (MIA) is a non-income tested payment that is generally paid as two separate amounts. The first amount will be paid if your child is fully immunised between 18-24 months and the second amount will be paid if your child is fully immunised between four and five years of age. This page from the Family Assistance Office links to information about eligibility, rates and how to apply.

National cervical screening program
The National Cervical Screening Program aims to reduce morbidity and deaths from cervical cancer, in a cost-effective manner through an organised approach to cervical screening. The Program encourages women in the target population to have regular Pap smears. A new vaccine will be provided free to all women and girls aged between 12 and 26 through the National HPV Vaccination Program. This new vaccine can protect them against the cause of most cervical cancers.

Pap test register
Pap test registers operate in each state and territory. Registers keep a confidential record of your Pap smear results and provide a valuable, voluntary and confidential backup system. If you want more information about the registers, to advise of a change of address, or if you would prefer to have your details removed from a register, contact your state or territory Pap Test Register.
