k886 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hi everyone I am emigrating to Victoria with my husband and daughter in april. Once we are settled ww hope to expand our family. Is having a child expensive? Do you pay for every midwife appointment and scan or is it only expensive if you have complications. Any information would be great!

AJ Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 All done on Medicare if you have PR. Some places you may have to pay something for scans. You can go private but heard the care is no better than public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 If you have PR and go public it's free mostly/ Sometimes a few charges for scans but you can asked to be sent somewhere where it's charged direct to medicare. I've had a child in both the public and private system and the care was much the same really except private you have costs and choice of doctor and hospital to have baby.
