Healthcare in Australia
There’s no shortage of choice when it comes to healthcare options in Australia with the number of public and private Australian hospitals and medical practitioners available throughout the country. There is also a wide range of medical insurance schemes to cover anything from hospital expenses to dental work.
The government run healthcare system, funded through income tax, is known as Medicare, and is available to all citizens and permanent residents of Australia. Many Australians choose to take out additional private health insurance, the cost of which can exceed $500 per month for comprehensive coverage.
