your mom has to apply for a tourist visa on her own merits... added docs you can include to strengthen her case would be your visa grant letter prolly, bank statements, etc.

hope this helps!! 😉

hi guys...congrats @kookie420

first step is go get a medicare card then after that find a bulk billing clinic (meaning walang bayad) thats for the GP...tell them your looking for a hospital for your pregnancy then the GP will write a letter to that hospital then wait ka lang ng a less than a week to two weeks for the hospital to contact you.

Good luck :-)

You can always have access to a public hospital I believe... It is just that you will have to pay in full your cost.

Ganito experience namin. Sa doctor $3.5K binayad namin, mga ilang consultation yan at sya ang mag-papaanak. Ang procedure dito kasi eh tawagan muna ang Birth Unit, bigay mo symptoms mo then sila mag-advise kung punta ka na or wait.

Additional $1.2K ang ibinayad ko sa hospital, kasi daw kami ay may private doctor, etc. etc.

Sa Westmead Public Hospital kami, maganda naman reputation nung hospital at maganda facilities, yung una kong anak sa Makati Med pinanganak, masasabi ko sa inyo mismo walang kwenta Makati Med compared sa facilities ng Westmead Public, mas maganda Westmead Private kaso mdyo mas mataas bayarin, hindi kami covered sa maternity sa health provider namin unfortunately.

In a few weeks time manganganak na si misis, mag-share pako.

hi guys...ask ko lang sa birth certificate registration form, pano ilalagay sa Child's Name (step 1) yung middle name nya.

And sa witness section (step 8) pwede ba mga in-laws na lang?

Thanks in advance

LittleBoyBlue

@stabilo di ko nilagay, wala silang concept ng middle name eh. Kung 2 name ng anak mo, kunwari Eduardo Burado De Los Reyes, Burado eh considered middle name na wherein satin first name pa rin yun. Kung i-register mo na anak mo sa pinas, dun na ata pwde. Hinihintay ko pa birth certificate ng anak ko tapos tsaka ko i-register sa embassy.

can i bump this thread for 2015? anybody else pregnant and will be in Oz soon or already in OZ? Sobrang haba ng binackread ko but worth it.

This is our case, we have been married for 5 years and having a baby was pretty much a challenge the whole time. Di masukat lahat ng gamot na nilaklak ko and luha na iniyak ko during that time. Then, we decided na di muna mag sobrang focus sa baby making and applied for Oz. last year, we received our grant and immediately did the initial entry and planned the big move on August 2015. While planning for the big move, ongoing pa rin ang baby goal. Until February we finally had our big fat positive. Now, I've read from some previous posts na better na wag muna magbuntis prior to landing here para maghanap ng work and maging stable and all, the thing is, hindi po lahat ganun kadali magbuntis. its not as easy as ordering, i want to get pregnant now na kasi kaya na namin. There are just some things na hindi mo controlled. As much as we also want to be stable before the baby comes but God has his own timing. We have prayed for this for a long time and here it is sabay ng big move namin. We are thrilled na we are finally pregnant at the same time anxious kasi hindi ko alam yung medical environment ng Oz.

We are currently residing here in Abu Dhabi and the medical insurance is pretty good. Consultation and medicine is covered. Even surgeries. The thing na I am worried about is will I be getting the same medical treatment there in Oz as I am getting here? My pregnancy is high risk, yung mga nabsa ko kasi sa post is mostly normal lang. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes during the early weeks of my pregnancy. meaning di ko alam diabetic pala ako before I got pregnant. Is there a special treatment/consultation for high risk pregnancies kashit medicare lang ang gamit? or should we get a private insurance para macover ito? At the moment, I am injecting insulin too. I just need as many information as I can so I can report to my OB here. she wants to be assured that I will be getting the right care when I move.

Thanks po for reading and sa lahat ng advice.

@piglet24 since PR ka naman covered ka naman ng medicare. I actually have no idea pag high risk ang pregnancy kung may top-up na bayad or what pero yung basics kasi wala naman halos.

if ever may gagastusin ka man ng konti do consider na pag pinanganak mo si baby mo sa Abu Dhabi he/she remains a Filipino citizen which means you have to pay and process his/her papers once you migrated here in Australia unlike pag ipanganak mo sya dito magiging Australian Citizen sya (because you are holding a permanent visa). So, you should consider those factors din.

piglet24

@wizz: Thanks for your reply. yun ang worry namin ni hubby yung top-up na payment na baka hindi icocover ng medicare kasi nga high-risk ako. anyway, i have already contacted the hospital where i will be visiting about the whole thing. sana nga the same thing na macocover kahit na high-risk. about kung san manganganak, yes we have considered it also. kasi kung dito nga ako manganganak, the process of applying for the baby's visa here and for oz is too expensive and time consuming. hopefully, mag reply na ang hospital. thanks for your input.

Ganda ng hospital dito, dont worry :-)

Ang bestfriend ko, after ma grant ang VISA, nabuntis din.

Dito na sya nanganak sa Melbourne.

Wala syang ginastos.

Tapos pag high risk pregnancy, sa best hospital ka pa i-assign :-)

Yes mga sissies no cost po sa PR. Gave birth last Nov 2014, sa Royal Prince Sydney Hospital. Single room for 3 days 2 nights. All of pre delivery check up is covered sa medicare. Had my GTT test for 4 times. Para sure na safe ang mga mommies. Able to get the grant too sa Parental Leave Scheme.

@piglet24 nalala ko na un sinabi ng kakilala ko, tama si @johnvagie sa best hospital ka irerefer pag high-risk ka. 6 mos preggy na ako and someone told me na dun ako sa King Edward Hospital sa Perth magparefer kasi maganda nga daw dun kaso sabi ng GP ko para lang yun sa mga high-risk pregnancy and so, far normal naman lahat saken kaya sabi di daw ako pwede dun. Sabagay ayaw ko naman din i-take ang slot lalo may ibang mas nangangailangan 🙂
