Hello everyone, I am the assistant of Australian Encyclopedia. Recently, I have received many private messages from expectant mothers asking"How to read the DHA address for Australian pregnant women"As an important part of life in Australia, knowing how to find the office address of DHA (Department of Home Affairs) is crucial for visa, medical registration and other matters.

1. Why do pregnant women need to pay attention to DHA content?

DHA is the core department responsible for immigration, visas and citizen services in Australia. For pregnant women, you may need to contact DHA directly in the following situations:

Accurately finding the DHA address can save time and avoid running around during pregnancy.
