congrats to you too @tesu ... yeah, I came across a similar discussion and spoke with a few PR friends who are already in Australia and gave birth there. Most of them are saying the following things:
- If Born there, then the baby will acquire citizenship at birth.
- Hospitable bills will be covered by the government/medicare or in other words giving birth is for free as long as it is in the a public system. (Not sure about this yet and hopefully someone can confirm.)
- fly to australia as soon as possible as it's not safe and healthy for the baby. they say 4 to 5 months is allowed to fly.
Confirmed po about medical na halos wala ka babayaran. May friend kami ma both PR dyan nanganak so automatic citizen yung baby nila, parking fee lang binayaran.
Another friend's partner (both PR) inoperahan and same, parking fee lang binayaran.
May isa din kami friend na nagbakasyon parent(tourist visa) pero nagka problem sa puso so, inoperahan. Worried yung friend namin kasi di fully covered ng insurance yung procedure so kinausap nila admin ng hospital. Sabi sa kanila, wag mag worry and ang alalahanin is yung recovery ng parent nya. Kung gusto daw nila, yung hospital bill ng parent nya is bayaran in installment. Maayos experiences nila with regards to medical care sa Australia.
