If you are planning to migrate to Australia, it's a smart move to consider Medibank Private health insurance
Moving to Australia is an exciting experience. Strong economic conditions, world-class health and education systems, and vibrant multi-cultural communities make Australia an ideal place to live, work and raise a family. There is so much to see and do. To give you and your family that extra peace of mind on arrival, it is important to consider Medibank Private health insurance. The health care system in Australia may be different to the way health care works in your home country. In Australia, the system has two main components: • Medicare - provides eligible Australian residents with access to free treatment as public patients in public hospitals and free or subsidised treatment by doct ors and other health professionals. • Private health insurance - is available, over and above Medicare, for those who wish to have more control in choosing where and by whom they are treated and for those who are not eligible for free or immediately necessary treatment under Medicare. You can’t stop the unexpected from happening, but you can take steps to help ensure that, if you or your family require hospital or medical treatment when you are living in Australia, you will have greater control over which hospital you can be treated in, the doctor who treats you and how soon you are treated. This is where private health insurance from Medibank Private can help. Join before you leave home so you are covered from the moment you arrive in Australia.* Medibank Private, it’s a smart move.
