we are on private health insurance all throughout our stay dito sa Australia. i suggest get one when you come here, best to visit their physical stores para mas maexplain ang coverage. for me, i suggest medibank. read the fine print and may difference tlga ang offer nila. For one, iyong use ng ambulance. But dito sa qld, libre naman dahil provided ng government, elsewhere kelangan mo tlga magpurchase ng ambulance cover. We are on interim medicare for now, but we still opt to get private health dahil dito sa lugar namin naka-triage ang ED ng public hospital.
For companies, meron iba kasama sa package if you are an expat employee, pero pag hindi inquire na lang sa company kung may special rates sila sa top health insurance providers. Hindi ako aware na meron palang ganito na tie-up if your working for big companies.
