Lisa,
There are many places in Australia that do waterbirths as I am sure there are in NZ. They would have to talk to the Australian immigration people about a visa long enough to do what they want. They will obviously have to foot the bill for all expenses as medicare is not available to them. It can get very expensive, even in a public hospital. If she is low risk it might be better to just book at a hospital for backup and birth with an independant midwife at their temporary home.
I have not been put in this position so this is only my guesswork.
Cheers
Judy

Hello there.
I would like to find out,is there such waterbirth laws in New Zealand also or only in SA? Is there any midwives services in New Zealand also? I'm actually a Malaysian,but i really want to have my child in Australia or New Zealand and not in Malaysia because my husband and i are very interested and really want to have an aqua baby due to all the benefits that waterbirth has and this service is not available here in Malaysia. I would really like to know how can i deliver our baby over there and how is the government's policy to go there and have a baby? Is it possible because we really want a waterbirth.

Please do reply soon. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Regards,
Jashpreet Kaur
