As far as I know, you will be covered totally free for prenatal and birthing as far as medical goes, but I don't think you will qualify for the cash benefit entiteling Norwegians to get what they may need for the baby. But the child will have Norwegian citizenship as well as Australian due to being born here. Goodluck on your move here, I love Norway and I'm from the US.

I believe Tazz is right about the cost. Any out of pocket should be negligible if you have a person number.

I live in Stavanger. Spending a year or two here may be an interesting experience if you can handle the culture, but I highly advise against either bringing in children from abroad or having children here, at least thoroughly research first the hazzards you may be confronted with, these pages may be a good place to start:

Also, from own experience and from friends who have had personal experience with the Norwegian health care system, I'd advise caution.

This guy's impression matches mine:
