If you are coming to Australia on a working visa, it’s a smart move to consider Medibank Private
Working Visa Health Insurance

Coming to Australia to work is an exciting opportunity. Skill shortages in many industries and sectors in Australia enable people like you to take advantage of a range of great employment opportunities.

Ensuring you have the right level of health insurance during your stay in Australia is important. If you are applying for a subclass 457 visa, it is mandatory for you to have “adequate arrangements for health insurance” for you and your family before your visa will be granted. Medibank Private’s Working Visa Health Insurance covers are suitable for this purpose.

With Medibank Private you can have the peace of mind knowing that you are covered by one of Australia’s largest private health funds and that we can organise a letter certifying you have made “adequate arrangements for health insurance” within 48 hours of joining.

Medibank Private’s Working Visa Health Insurance covers give you greater control over which hospital you can be treated in, the doctor who treats you and most importantly how soon you can be treated.

It’s a smart move to take out one of Medibank Private’s Working Visa Health Insurance covers.
