Hi all!
Sorry if this has been asked before. We are moving to Australia in 6 months (I am on Visa 461 and my partner is a NZer on visa 444). We are not pregnant yet but are trying.
My question is whether I can enter Australia pregnant and register for medicare. (As I understand it I am eligible for medicare under the RHCA).
I am also having trouble finding out what kind of maternity cover I get under RHCA. I may take out private cover but I want to know exactly what I am currently covered for. (Plus I know there is often a 12 month waiting period before you are able to claim).
If anyone else has given birth using RHCA cover please share your experience.
Thank you,
