Hi reenabenpatel and welcome to BE,

I've moved your post to this section of the forum, as you are likely to get more answers regarding the childcare benefits. I'm sorry I can't help with that, but someone should be along soon

Did a quick search on the benefits for you - have a look at this thread http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...dcare+benefits

I've been looking at this having just had a baby here. I don't get anything being on a 457 but in your case:

Benefits are means tested, but yes you will be entitled on your visa, but if as a family you earn too much no you won't. I think the threshold is about $178k.

Yes he will.

With regard to your child, he would be entitled to citizenship if you were here as a perm resident when he was born
