Healthcare

Australia’s healthcare system works completely differently than what you’re used to, especially if you’re coming from the US or UK. I explain how Medicare actually works for different visa types (not everyone gets it automatically), what the Reciprocal Health Care Agreement covers and what massive gaps it leaves, and mandatory private health insurance requirements for 482 and student visa holders.

You’ll also find specific guidance for British expats who think they’re covered but aren’t. You’ll understand what you’re actually covered for, where the gaps are that’ll cost you, and how private health insurance rebates work.
