I am from the Uk and my partner Australian. We have been together for 2 years whilst I was in the country on working holiday visa.
We submitted our partner visa a few weeks ago onshore and I have been granted a bridging visa A! While a decision is made!
I have just just found out that I am pregnant and am trying to get as much information about my rights to medical care and benefits...any help would be much appreciated.
I have already had my medical examination and x-ray for the visa so there is no concern there! I have read that being pregnant makes no difference to the application and will not speed it up which is fine!
I currently work full time and have done for the past 5 months and will continue to work until the baby is born!
As as I am from the Uk i have a green Medicare card! In the UK there are no costs to have a baby, what is the case with that here? What would I need to pay for and what is covered by my Medicare?
Also, what sort of benefits am I entitled to? It is more than likely that I will still be on a bridging visa or the temporary resident (820) visa when the baby is born.
Just looking for any advice and information regarding my situation. And any pointers I should look out for
