Hi,
My partner (Australian citizen) and myself (PR) are expecting our first child in a few months. To help with adjusting to our new lives and also to help ease my return to work, we have decided to bring my mum to Australia to help take care of the baby.
Initially we thought of just getting her to come on the Tourist Visa, which means she can stay and help us for 3 months.
However, we've heard from different sources that there is a 1-year Visa for grandparents who come to help with taking care of newborns? Is this true? Or does this fall under the normal/general Tourist Visa? What type of insurance will we be required to get for her?
Thanks in advance!
