Foreign student told to go home for birth by: John Ross From: The Australian May 23, 2012 12:00AM
MORE public hospitals are closing their doors to international students, with Brisbane's Mater Mothers' Hospital joining the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in denying them maternity services.
Claudia Gonzalez, a 27-year-old business student at the University of Queensland, said both inner-city hospitals had denied her admission after she fell pregnant with her first child.
Eventually, she obtained admission at Ipswich Hospital, requiring a two-hour round trip for her fortnightly check-ups.
Access to public medical services has become a key rights issue for overseas students, with public hospitals across the country excluding them even though visa conditions require them to take out health insurance.
Hospitals in Brisbane and Melbourne don't accept international students, on budgetary and capacity grounds, with those in other mainland state capitals reportedly following suit.While students are accepted in emergencies, many aren't aware of this. Last November the wife of a Monash University student ended up giving birth in a carpark after her husband drove her 22km across Melbourne, bypassing three hospitals that had previously shown them the door.
Some students have been offered places in public hospitals on condition they enrol as private patients, rendering them liable for gap fees of $7000 or more.
Ms Gonzalez, who is due in July, said RBWH had suggested she go home to Chile. "It's not that easy just to go home to deliver the baby."
Pakistani postdoctoral student Shabbir Ahmad's son Rayyan was born in February at Logan Hospital, over 20km from his St Lucia home, after his family had been denied admission to RBWH.
"They say they were full, basically," he said.
Ms Gonzalez said international students were now being advised against planning for babies in Australia.
A spokesman for Queensland Minister for Health Lawrence Springborg said the government would consider the issue.
The government said RBWH lost at least $1.4 million a year on services for overseas students.
It said that, under commonwealth legislation and agreements, overseas students didn't necessarily qualify for the same health services as Australians.
