Local Health Insurance
Australia is known for “Medicare,” a public system that does not automatically cover everyone. Individuals with temporary visas, tourists, or those on working holiday programs are often left without coverage and would have to bear private medical costs themselves. Moreover, Medicare does not cover certain services—like dental treatments or medical repatriation—and there can be complex conditions.
International Health Insurance
With an international policy, you avoid the restrictions of the Australian system and also have coverage abroad or for repatriations. This is especially important for travelers who plan to visit other countries after Australia or for those who would prefer treatment in their home country.
