How do I Qualify for a Parenting Payment:
You may qualify for Parenting Payment, either as a parent, grandparent or foster carer, where:
you are single and have at least one child aged under 8 who is wholly or substantially in your care and who is in Australia (or temporarily outside Australia for less than 13 weeks)
Please Note: You will have part-time participation requirements* from when your youngest child is aged 6
you are partnered and have at least one child aged under 6 who is wholly or substantially in your care and who is in Australia (or temporarily outside Australia for less than 13 weeks)
your and/or your partner's (if you have one) income and assets are below a certain amount, and
you meet residence requirements.
You can usually only get a social security payment from Centrelink if you live in Australia and are either an Australian citizen or you have a permanent resident visa. If you are a newly arrived resident you will also have a two year newly arrived resident’s waiting period for:
Austudy
Carer Payment (adult)
Carer Payment (child)
Commonwealth Seniors Health Card
Crisis Payment
Health Care Card (low income)
Mature Age Allowance
Mobility Allowance
Newstart Allowance
Partner Allowance
Sickness Allowance
Special Benefit
Youth Allowance.
You will have to serve a waiting period if you have not been an Australian resident, and in Australia, for periods totalling 104 weeks. Periods spent in Australia as an Australian resident at any time in your life can be counted towards the waiting period.
Do other payments have a newly arrived resident’s waiting period?
Some other payments, such as pensions, do not have a newly arrived resident's waiting period, but have their own 'qualifying residence' requirements:
Parenting Payment and Widow Allowance have qualifying residence requirements of two years
Age Pension and Disability Support Pension have qualifying residence requirements of ten years.

Thanks.
The organization of that page misled me. parenting payment should be in the first list and then explained in detail later. otherwise it's easy to overlook the second half.
