We now plan to have the baby born in Australia and will be travelling while wife is 30-32 weeks pragnent(Checked with Airline its ok to travel) before the initial entry date. My question is do we need to notify DIAC about this and whether there could be any issues at the airport e.g. turned away or denied entry due to wife being pragnent. As far as I know there shouldn't be any issue but wife was chatting today with a friend in Australia (australian citizen) whose husband works at the airport told that you are not allowed to enter Australia if you are pragnent. Just wondering if this is true and in this case can we have our initial entry date extended. Appreciate your feedback please.

Cheers,

We are expecting a baby in March 2011 and due to personal reason planned delivery of baby in India.

I am working in Saudi Arabia and my employer didn't agree to release me before Feb 2011 ,I have planned my permanent move in Apr 2011 and after few month my family will join me.

Do I need to raise a fresh application for new born ?, please suggest.
