Public healthcare in Australia is not the same as the NHS system in the UK.
Generally expats without permenant residency in Oz opt to use private doctors, as they don't have the same entitlements to Medicare as Australaians.The UK does have a recipricol health agreement with Australia which will give British citizens access to some benefits such as free treatment at public hospitals (note there are likely to be some queues and waiting lists for teatment) and subsidised medicines.
