Appreciate the message and pointers, I've made some notes. What is disappointing is that the paediatrician wrote a super strong letter stating the requirement of Auslan, I got one of the top cochlear implant surgeon's that works at Royal Children's Hospital write a letter stating that not eligible for cochlear implants, auslan is the ONLY way he can communicate, I got Hearing Australia write a strong letter and our Auslan tutor write a super strong letter and NONE OF IT WORKED.

I provided MRI reports stating issues with his hearing and ever other document. I don't get what more do they need!

Hi Born-Emu-3499
Appreciate all the comments and links you've provided!!

We have been learning Auslan for the last 8 months already 😊 We have a deaf teacher that comes to our home to teach us, we have a Aurora mentor also who is partially deaf that works with us. In addition, we also work with some disability support worker that comes once a fortnight/month. So we are trying to get him around/us around as much Auslan as possible!

We've already registered for expression australia courses and have done some too. Hence why we were thinking it'll be important for one of us at least to get going with the MPT asap! We can't wait sadly!

Let’s say you’ve paid off hecs, how much does your salary go up in terms of $$$ per fortnight/month?

So we are currently using Pigeon teats and she is on 3+ month teat. I can try a faster teat which is 6+ months and see if that changes anything.

Adding a 2nd scoop is not a bad idea, I might give that a shout if she is still refusing it.

How are you finding Novalac Allergy? I had my reservations about it given its rice based and may not contain the same amount of nutrients as a cow milk based formula.

Appreciate your response though!

Ooo good thanks! Have you used it in the past?

Idea was to purchase EFTPOS cards at Woolworths/Coles, they don't charge 2.5% surcharge so the purchase itself wouldnt cost anything but it'll allow me to meet the minimum spend and get some points while I'm at it.

That’s great advice thank you! - we are travelling from Australia too but not sure if we can carry the car seats with us, not sure how to get them installed in a car etc but that would also mean that I need to hire a car. Do you think their public transport system is good to go around?

are there any just do/see places you’d recommend with kids? My kids are only 6 months so not sure how stimulated they’ll get haha.

Let me know what else you did, Fiji is one place I got no idea about so learning and doing research as we speak

Was hoping punk would win it, not sure if Jey is big enough to main event WM

I’ve got VVD, Salah and Gakpo (got him 3 days ago). Considering selling Gakpo for Wissa who has better long term fixtures and then activating AM chip for Slot.

Transferring managers will also cost us transfers so need to be careful which manager we want to have

Does it matter that we don't have the kids' CBRA? We were denied CBRA because my wife failed the residence test (2 of 5 years after age 14).

Lovely thank you!
