Thank you. Yes I believe it is the same 6 in 1 vaccine. Thank you for the heads up on what we need to do when we return.

Yes I have been looking for private vaccination hubs near me but nothing seems to be coming up for Lancashire. Will keep searching. I have only briefly searched here and there. Edit... Found one in Liverpool thank you

Thank you, we are north west of England. I've searched for private vaccination hubs for childhood vaccines in Lancashire but so far the only ones I've found are down south which isn't the end of the world to travel down!

Well I certainly don't agree with your response about it not being an issue. It clearly states online (and I have yesterday confirmed with my GP when my little one had his 6 week vaccines) that anywhere up to a month late for the vaccines is fine but anything past this means you are not fully covered. And by the time we return to Australia our youngest will be about to turn 12 months which is when his next lot of vaccinations are due. The 6 month vaccine is the final in a 3 part series and the schedule is tried and tested. You ask any specialist immunologist about spacing out the vaccine schedule and they say absolutely not, the way the vaccine schedule is laid out is tried and tested and should not be delayed. So your advice is actually dangerous. I am not expecting a vaccine for free. I am needing information on how to access it fully expecting to pay.

Hi all, Hoping someone is able to give advice who may have been through this previously themselves. Our son is 4 weeks old and we are due to head over to the UK for 6 months to spend time with family after he has his 4 month vaccinations here in Australia. Obviously this means he will be due his 6 month vaccinations whilst we are in the UK. Has anyone been through something similar where their child(ren) have been due vaccinations whilst they have been in the UK and what is the process? We are aware we will likely have to pay privately as our son won't have an NHS number and even though we will apply for a British passport for him, I doubt we can then get an NHS number to get free treatment as we won't technically be UK residents. I appreciate anyone's help on the matter. PS I have checked and the 6 in 1 vaccine that is given in the UK is the same as the Australian scheduled 6 month vaccine.

Good evening all, A bit of a long shot. But if there are any Dentist's that are almost at completion with their visa status to move to Australia then this post is for you. I work at a fantastic practice in Coffs Harbour, on the Mid North Coast of NSW. We are looking for a Dentist to join our team. I've worked here for 4 years and it's the best practice I've ever worked in (qualified 2012). Please get in touch if you're interested in finding out more. Thanks, Caroline

All good. Ignore my post.... The same vaccine is given. The 6 in 1 Diphtheria, Polio, pertussis, influenza, tetanus, hep B I'll just call the local GP surgeries once there and ask the process. Last time I was in the UK though we couldn't access a GP. We had to go to the walk in centre. More than likely it'll be the same again!

Hey everyone. Thought I would update on what we did in the end. We travelled back to the UK for Christmas. It was all rather last minute. We travelled with his Australian passport and entered the UK with this. Whilst in the UK we booked a face to face appointment at the passport office in Liverpool. It didn't take long for his passport to arrive back in Australia although more than likely a different story nowadays

Hey all! A bit of a specific question. My husband and I are dual citizens of England and Australia. We are expecting our second baby boy in December. Our plan is to head over to the UK for 6 months as part of my maternity leave. We will head over after our Son has had his 4 month vaccines. As a result, we will need to somehow find a way to get him vaccinated for his 6 month vaccination but I note the schedule is different between UK and Australian childhood vaccines. Has anyone had experience with this? I imagine we may need to call a GP practice / walk in centre and ask if it is possible to get the exact vaccines that Australia follow and no doubt have to pay privately for it? Thank for your help!

Thank you so much for your responses. This makes me feel much more at ease. I don't understand why I have found it so difficult to find this information. I seemed to enter a rabbit Warren of information on each government website and managed to confuse myself. I must admit it does not take an awful lot to confuse me these days!

Hi all, I am getting myself in an absolute tiz because I have absolutely no clue what I am doing. My husband and I are both UK citizens and have been living in Australia for 5 years. We just had our first son back in November. He is automatically an Australian citizen. However, we would like him to have dual citizenship and so would like to get him a UK passport. He should be entitled to British citizenship by descent as he was born outside of the UK to parents who are UK citizens. The issue I have is knowing how to claim citizenship. We are planning to travel back to the UK in 2023 sometime (all being well re-covid) and the issue I have is that if we leave things as they are and only get him an Australian passport, we will have to apply for a visa for him to enter the UK as he currently is not recognised by the UK as being born. Is this correct? Whereas I assume it would be easier to travel with both an Australian and a UK passport so that we can leave and enter Australia with the Australian passport and enter/leave the UK with a UK passport. Is this correct? No matter what Google searches I do I cannot for the life of my fathom out how to go about this. I'm sure there are plenty of other parents who have gone through this and could help. Thanks in advance.

I just want to clarify. Ignore what I said earlier. We do not qualify. My husband and I were granted residency on 3/3/2020 and so we miss out on jobkeepers by 2 days. I was given false information by somebody who stated those residents for tax purposes qualify. Unfortunately not. Good luck with your 887 application

PS I know it's hard but just ignore those comments from SOME Aussies. Try not to let it get to you. They are uneducated and think that what the government mean by temp visa holders is that they are here just for Centrelink payments and a drain to society which is not true. Educated Aussies know that I used to let it get to me but now I just brush it off because there's no telling stupid

FYI I applied for jobkeeper payments yesterday. The form states you have to have been a resident for tax purposes to have access to this scheme. So you will 100% qualify on your 489 as you have been resident for tax purposes this whole time. So go to your myGov and ATO and fill out the forms and you'll be grand

Hello! My understanding is they waivered wait times. My husband and I only received residency on 3/3/2020 and have been advised we qualify for jobseekers. We do not qualify for jobkeepers because we missed out by 2 days (the ATO website reads that you have to have held a permanent residency visa as of 1/3/2020). So I would 100% say you qualify for help. If you haven't done so already log onto your myGov account and register your intent to claim jobkeepers ASAP as it will be backdated. Good luck
