@Marisawright thank you for your response. This definitely isn’t the only aspect I’m thinking about, but it was my main question. With the job I’m in I won’t be pushed out and can always get another job easily at a number or places, so that’s ok. I’ll look into the PR employment record side of things.
And as regards going back to work, Aus visitor has said I’m entitled to 12 months unpaid mat leave - so I’ll chat to my current employer and see what they say. I think they’ll be open to it.
At the end of the day we can all plan meticulously the best time and place to have a child but I could be waiting until I’m no longer able to have a child if I do that!
