Hi there, My sister is on 485 temporary visa and she is currently in Australia. Recently she got to know that she is pregnant. Was wondering, if she has to inform the immigration regarding anything? And also, any suggestions of any good insurance provider at this condition? She is currently with HIF. Thanks in advance. Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk

Thanks for the answer. I don't need any benefits and I'm grateful for that. But was confused about registration requirements. Appreciate that you cleared it up for me. Cheers mate

Thanks for your answer. I am currently in Australia and my status is permanent resident. This time I enrolled into university as local student at post grad level. No wife or kids. For future purposes, curious to know how do they start counting the 108 weeks?.. I assume it's after I arrived in Australia as Permanent Resident. I already registered and got the Medicare card and confused whether I have to do something similar for centrelink, plus does the previous years spent as international student count at all towards the waiting queue. Surprisingly the lady at the local medicare/centrelink point wasn't even sure about this scenario!

Hi there, I just arrived in Australia this month on 189 permanent visa. I know there is a 108 week waiting period for new residents to be eligible for any centrelink benefits. My query is, do I have register somewhere for the 108 week waiting period countdown to start? Also, I stayed in Australia from 2009 till mid 2013 as international student. Then went back to my country after graduation, only to return to Australia after the 189 PR grant. Does that time period count? Thanks in advance for any information or help provided. Cheers Saad

My status is considered as Permanent Resident from the date of the grant or from the date of activation ? (for offshore applicants)

Hello everyone, I got the grant for 189 yesterday from offshore and my IED has to be by September 2015. My question - is my status already considered as Permanent Resident or my status will become Permanent Resident only after I make the initial entry? I checked via VEVO, it mentions - - Visa description : Permanent Visa status : In effect Location : Offshore Stay Period : Indefinite Thanks in advance. Cheers Saad

Finally, Got the grant today... Applied on early May,2014...thank God the wait is finally over..

Congrats mate.. Please post your time line and where are you from?
