Newborn Supplement and Newborn Upfront Payment

Question

Senator RUSTON: It's probably not the most important question you will answer. So, yes, I'm interested in just how many are on the newborn supplement and newborn upfront payment and what's the most granular level of data that's available for that. Ms Chatham: The latest data I've got is that there were around 60,000 recipients in 2024-25. Senator RUSTON: Okay. Can you give that to us in the most granular data in terms of whether it's electorate, statewide, et cetera.
