Hosting Look after the carer and child on arrival as all children will be accompanied by a family member. Arrange for them to attend the Hospital for tests prior to the operation. Provide accommodation, meals etc, and transport to and from the hospital. Transport the carer to the hospital to visit the child, unless the carer can be accommodated at the hospital during this time. Provide home hosting for the mother and child after discharge from the Hospital. Arrange for transport for any follow up checks or treatment until they leave Australia.
