    Today Out of no hope I called the medicare in the morning and I am told baby is been enrolled but medicare card can't be issued till First of March.she said if you need; go to the medicare office with your medicare card and ask them to print you a temporary card.

    so fingers crossed this time we get the card for bub

    Starfish: I would suggest you to call centerlink on family assistance number and tell them you need medicare card and can't afford to pay the fee ( in my case it was 70$ per visit and for immunization 11$ extra for nurse at pathology) Iam sure ringing them might work.

    Your local council might have free vaccination sessions too. They might just need your medicare number, but not neccesarily see the card. or they might just need your green book (or whatever the colour is this year)
