Hi,
We moved to Perth a year and half ago on a 176 perm residence visa and live in Mullaloo, Perth. We now want to have another baby but have heard so many different things about having a child in australia! Afterall, its not like back at home with the NHS!
I am looking for as much information as possible and even someone that has been in my situation.
Do we become citizens automatically if we have a child?
Is the child automatically an australian citizen?
What do we have to pay for? every apt? scans?
Do we receive a payment for having a child?
Is the process the same as in the UK, 12 week scan, 20 scan, get appointed a midwife etc etc
How do I go about getting the child a british passport so we can return to the UK if we want?
Maternity leave and pay?
Be grateful if someone could help and get in touch for a chat!
Thanks Jo
