Hello!

Hi I really like your page and I was wondering if any mums out there would have the same experience. Please keep my name anonymous for now. I am Australian and I gave birth to a baby overseas. Dad passed away. I want to go back to Australia but I have no family there and I was wondering whether the government has any support for moms giving birth overseas so in a way can help me get back on my feet and eventually let me get back to Australia so I can raise my baby there. I have a 4 month old baby. Does the government provide help if you gave birth overseas? Thanks so much.

  • If you are Australian or a perm resident you can claim centrelink assistance. Depending ln your circumstances but it sounds like you would be entitled to ftb as a minimum


  • What a tricky situation, hope it worked out well.


  • Only if you are living here would the government assist in any family benefits


  • I really hope it all goes well for you x


  • I hope things went well for you and you got the assistance you needed


  • U would have to call them and ask! U would want to make sure


  • I’m pretty sure you’d have to move to Aus first before receiving any form of assistance. I hope things are working out for you.


  • Are you able to move here?


  • You must be in Au to receive help :(


  • Hope you got some answers


  • Just wondering how you went. Did you move here?


  • You will be entitled to help but you must be in Australia to receive it.


  • You and your children would have to be living here to be able to receive a benefit from centrelink


  • maybe contact centrelink or the Australian government


  • i would say yes that you should be able to


  • Yes if your Australian you child will be entitled to dual citizen ship and have all the benefits associated to being Australian


  • Definitely Centrelink, you’re an Aussie, you’re entitled to help.


  • I have just thought you could contact the Australian embassy as they should help you.


  • Centrelink has online services, you should be able to contact them through there to sort out your situation. Best of luck.


  • I am sure there is something they can do for you. give them a call and find out. they will work something out.
