@Cassey salamat po! Nagawan ko na ng paraan yung sa health coverage ko. I know off-topic, pero para sa mga makakaexperience, pag hindi ina-allow ng health provider magupdate ng "start date," just notify them with your date of arrival and they should automatically start your coverage right when you arrive in Au. For Medibank, I just have to e-mail them a copy of my passport with stamp. Mag-aadjust nalang yung "end dates" mo which shouldn't be a problem since you can easily extend your coverage.
