What are medical services in Australia like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Australia, they replied...
"Australia has a comprehensive public health system that provides high quality medical services to its citizens. The public health system is funded by the government and provides free or low-cost access to medical care. Private health insurance is also available for those who wish to access private medical services. Australia has a wide range of medical services available, including general practitioners, specialists, hospitals, and community health services. The country also has a strong focus on preventative health care, with a range of programs and initiatives aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles," wrote a member who made the move to Australia.

"After living in the Northeastern US and then Texas, coming to Sydney has been a dream for me and my family. My son broke his femur and required emergency surgery, a week stay in the hospital, 8 months of physical therapy and then another surgery, our cost was $40 to rent a chair for the shower. I will never willingly live in the US again," explained one expat living in Sydney, Australia.
