Hello Everyone,
My Wife and I are pregnant and nabigyan kami ng S56 about it.
isa sa mga hinihingi ay to inform DHA about expected due date and if plan namin to have the baby in Australia. See screenshot.
Not sure how to reply to the response.
Anyone may idea on how to reply to the S56? Thank you
Regarding how to inform them - sharing this info:
If your child is born after you submit your application but before the Department decide on your visa, you must tell them as soon as possible.
Upon receipt of the information of your baby’s birth and required documents, your baby will be considered to hold any visa(s) that you and the other parent held when the baby was born.
Your baby will also be added to any unfinalised visa applications you may have before the Department at the time of your baby's birth.
If the baby doesn't have a passport yet, you can give them copies of your baby's passport pages later. However, you must send them as soon as you can.
▶If you currently have a visa application in ImmiAccount that is not yet finalised, sign in to ImmiAccount and upload these documents:
✅Form 1022 - Notification of changes in circumstances
✅a colour scan of your baby's Australian birth certificate
✅a colour scan of your baby's passport pages (showing photo, personal details, and passport issue and expiry dates)
▶It is free to add your baby to your visa. It is also free to add your baby to an unfinalised visa application and/or to link the visa to their passport.
Your baby’s visa(s) will have the same terms and conditions as per the visa(s) that you and the other parent held when the baby was born. This includes any Bridging visa(s).
The department will let you know if you need to do anything else. When you have given them everything they need, they will include the baby in any unfinalised visa applications you have before the Department, and the baby will be assessed along with yourself and any other dependents for a decision on your visa.
Your baby must, also, meet all requirements for visa grant. For example, this includes:
▶being included in a sponsorship (where applicable)
▶meeting the health requirement
▶having a valid passport for travel (where applicable).
⚠What if my visa application has already been refused by the time I notify the department of my baby’s birth?
In such cases, you must still notify us of your baby’s birth as soon as possible, even if your baby does not have a passport yet.
Your baby’s visa application will most likely be refused as well. This will, however, allow your baby to also seek merits review where applicable and ensure that your baby remains lawful in Australia while the application(s) for merits review are being considered.
If your baby has not had a refusal in their own right, the merits review tribunal will most likely have no jurisdiction to consider your baby's application for merits review until the Department has refused your baby first.
Have you lately had a baby while your visa application was being processed? Please feel free to contact us if you require any assistance in incorporating your child into your visa application.

The CO is hinting something :
Base sa magiging sagot ninyo:
Yes -
Pwede nila expedite yung visa decision
No- they will put your visa decision on hold until you give birth and update them about your baby.
