Hi
My mother is in Australia now. We applied for 804 - Aged Parent Visa and she got a bridging visa for that.
With this bridging visa we applied for Medicare. But they rejected. We applied twice and both time they rejected.
Following is directly copied from the Medicare website (https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/subjects/how-enrol-and-get-started-medicare/enrolling-medicare/if-youre-australian-permanent-resident).
My questions are:
If we now apply for 884 (temporary) visa and get it, will be able to get Medicare? Or do we need to also apply for 864 (0ermanent contributory) also?
How it is currently taking to process 884(temporary) visa?
With the bridging visa are we allowed to apply for 884 visa?
Our main target is to arrange Medicare for our mother as soon as possible. Your responses and guidence will be very much helpful for us.
