You will need to change to a family cover before your baby is born, I would recommend two to three weeks before your wife is due. Once your baby is born your baby will have no waiting periods and will covered immediately under the Gold cover. by adding yourself to your wife’s membership will have no impact on her or her waiting periods that she has served. you will have a 12 month wait before you can have any procedures in the private hospital once you transfer to the Gold cover.
