On June 21, 2015 Australians concerned about freedom of choice came together to express their opposition to the proposed “No Jab No Pay” policy* which could see Australian families in which children do not receive all the vaccinations currently on the national schedule (for babies and young children) lose up to $15,000 per child per year in lost childcare subsidies and a family tax credit.

NB: Australians who would like to stay up to date with vaccination policy may like to join the email list for any of these Australian-based websites: http://avn.org.au/, http://www.vaccinationawareness.com.au/ or http://vaccinationdecisions.net/
There is also a weebly which publicised the events on June 21 which will be used to publicise any future events: http://nojabnopaynoway.weebly.com/
