我個女依家八個月，香港出世，已攞Australia citizenship and Australia passport. 現在我想幫佢申請Medicare. 我想請教下各位澳洲媽媽，申請medicare時，女女需要親身去Medicare office辦理嗎？還是我自己去可以代辦？因為我打算下個月回Sydney，考慮緊帶唔帶女兒去。thx!
To add a newborn baby (up to and including 52 weeks of age) to your Medicare card you will need to complete a Newborn Child Claim for Family Assistance and Medicare form. This form is included in the information pack given to parents after the birth of their child, either in hospital or from a registered midwife for a home birth.
You can lodge the completed form at your local DHS Service Centre or by mail in the reply-paid envelope included in the pack.
If you don't have a Newborn Child Claim for Family Assistance and Medicare form, or your child is over 52 weeks of age you need to fill out a Medicare Enrolment Application form and provide an identification document such as a birth certificate.
The form and identity document can be lodged in person at your local DHS Service Centre.
Where the newborn baby was born overseas or to obtain information relating to other acceptable identification documents, please contact the Department of Human Services on 132 011.
If you’ve adopted a child from overseas, you must determine their eligibility for Medicare before enrolling them. Read more about Medicare enrolment for children adopted from overseas.
