Planning for healthcare in Australia

Australia has public and private healthcare, but visitor costs and eligibility depend on circumstances. Confirm your cover before travel and use current official guidance when care is needed.

Why go

Medicare is the public system, while private providers and insurance also play a role. That distinction matters when planning a trip: a service being available does not establish that a visitor can use it without charge. Check your own eligibility, insurance terms and likely out-of-pocket costs in advance.

Useful to know

  • Before travelling, confirm whether your insurance covers treatment, prescriptions and any services you may need in Australia.
  • If you need care, check current official advice on where to seek it and ask the provider about charges before non-urgent treatment.
