Whether you are visiting for just a few weeks or several months, it is a smart move to take out private health insurance while you are visiting family or friends in Australia.

As a temporary visitor to Australia you may not be eligible to access Medicare, (Australia’s public health system). This means you will need to pay the costs of any hospital or medical treatment you may have while you are in Australia.

Like most places in the world, health care costs in Australia can be expensive. Even a few days in
hospital for a routine operation can add up to thousands of dollars in hospital charges and doctors’ fees.

Health insurance from Medibank Private will help cover the cost of hospital and medical treatment including visits to the doctor and there are options that include everyday health related services such as dental, chiropractic, physiotherapy and optical items.

Join before you leave home so you are covered from the moment you arrive in Australia.*
