Re: Australian wife, birth in UK?

yes that's useful, thanks. It's that funny term 'essential' again, but at least the Aussie side seems clear that a holding an Aussie passport is enough to qualify for the care.

Re: Australian wife, birth in UK?

Thanks pennyless, my organisation talks about coming on a Working Visa - no more clarity than that at this stage so perhaps I need to push further there? I've responded to the location questions...

Re: Australian wife, birth in UK?

Hi Pollyanna,
understand your rationale, but this is a specifically Australian & UK situation due to their unique healthcare agreement. Any chance of the thread going back to the Australia forum?...

Re: Australian wife, birth in UK?

Thanks pennyless, very clear.
