Hope the following helps someone out there! We are gay parents and had our child born through surrogacy in Canada. We did provide Canadian court order of parenthood. Australian Department of home affairs did NOT attempt to engage with surrogate for further consents, etc. We didn’t face any additional hustle for this fact. We didn’t provide any documentation by residence country (Spain) regarding parenthood, only place of birth (Canada)

Currently not working. Skilled Partner with Superior English. Family of 3. Reason for s56 medicals -A few months before our PR medicals, we’d already done them for the 482 visa mid 2024. When we applied for PR, we reused those details and just added a few extra tests. This is why our medicals expired, and we had to redo them in January. S56 Notes Medical cleared: 04 Feb 2026
