Having my baby in Australia - am I entitled to any kind of benefit?

There is a baby bonus which is paid out once you give birth. But there are specific clauses and criteria you must meet to recieve this. I would search baby bonus on the aus net.

You will be laughing!! OZ government loves kids, and they reward handsomely for new arrivals and pre-schoolers as long as centre-link is sorted (this can be a mission itself)

check this out, www.familyassist.gov.au. This will give you details on payments you may be entitled to, eg. Baby bonus, family payments, but you would need to have an Australian address to get these.

What is the antenatal care like in aus? And the delivery suites/ birthing centers. Does aus have anything like plunket? figure it would be a good way to meet new people
