Guest Dani231104 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hi guys In January I will arrive Sydney with a 457 VISA. As I am spanish, I cannot enjoy Medicare and I have paid for a private insurance. At a first stage , I selected the basic plan , just to get the VISA. My question is that we are wondering to look for a baby in the coming months and I don´t know If I need to take time paying the insurance with obstetrics included or inmediatly I include this coverage in my plan my wife is covered and we can have a baby. thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 You need to take out obstetric cover before your wife gets pregnant. You will not be covered for the first 12 months of a policy for pregnancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pixie10 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Can I just check- medicare (once applied for) starts immediately?? So if i were to get pregnant in first few months of being in Oz I would be covered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
