Hello everyone
My Wife , 2 yr old daughter and myself have got our 175 visa's.
We acitvated these last year July and plan to move over to Aus next year Sept '12.
My son was born in Jan this year and we are just about to submit the Dependant Child Visa 101 so he can come along with us !
My understanding is that the 3 of us who are on 175's are entitiled to Medicare when we get there as we are permanent residents, but would my son be entitled to this as well since he has a diff class visa ?
Sorry if this has been asked before
Cheers

No, your son will also be PR and therefore entitled to Medicare in the same way you are.
