Australia’s national health service is called Medicare and is administered by the Health Insurance Commission (HIC: www.hic.gov.au).
It provides free treatment in public hospitals.
And free or subsidised treatment by doctors, optometrists and dentists in certain cases.
Medicare even covers 75 per cent of the cost of private treatment, so that a private health insurance policy needs to cover only 25 per cent of costs.
All permanent residents of Australia are eligible to join Medicare.
Restricted access is also granted to citizens of certain countries with which Australia has a reciprocal healthcare agreement.
If you’re working in Australia, you’re automatically covered for injury and illness as a result of an accident by compulsory workers’ compensation insurance.
