As a foreigner living in Australia, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Australia if they have access to public healthcare in Australia. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Australia, you will have access to public healthcare. Australia has a universal healthcare system, known as Medicare, which provides free or subsidized access to medical services for all Australian citizens and permanent residents. Medicare covers a wide range of services, including hospital care, doctor visits, and prescription medications. The quality of care is generally high, and the system is well-funded and well-managed," remarked another expat in Australia.
