Visitor Cover

Planning a trip to Australia comes with a long to-do list. Flights, visas, accommodation, what to pack, it all tends to take priority, especially when you’re preparing for a working holiday, visiting family or settling in for a longer temporary move. But one thing that often gets left until last, or skipped altogether, is health cover.

That’s worth changing. Australia has a strong, well-regarded healthcare system, but it doesn’t automatically cover every overseas visitor. Whether you can access public healthcare here depends on your visa type and country of origin, and for many visitors, private cover will need to be organised before you arrive.
