Health Insurance for Visitors

chikka_gurl143chikka_gurl143 MelbournePosts: 43Member
Good day everyone! Ano recommended niyo na Overseas Visitor Health Insurance company? My mama will be here for 6 months. She's on a Tourist Visa 600. So far nakita ko lang na options are BUPA and Australian Unity. Any feedback on these two will be highly appreciated. Or meron pa bang other choices? TIA! God bless!

10-May-14: lodged offshore Partner VISA (subclass 309) online
3-Jun-14: Lodged a 3-month VISITOR (subclass 600) VISA application
13-Jun-14: Visitor VISA grant
25-Jun-14: contacted by CO for additional documents
27-Jun-14: Flight to Aus
3-Sep-14: Applied for a 3-month visitor VISA extension (as my VISA will expire on 28th Sep)
5-Sep-14: Visitor Visa extension grant date – (Sept 28-Dec 28, 2014)
3-Dec-14: Received an email from CO stating that I have to depart Aus because a decision was ready to be given
7-Dec-14: Back in the Phils
11-Dec-14: Partner VISA grant
23-Dec-14: Flight to Aus

Waiting period: 7 Months (Praise God! ^_^)

My hubby and I have been attending Hillsong Church Melbourne city campus since Feb 2014 and I am loving it! If you’re new here in Mebourne or you have been here for a long time but you haven’t yet found a church where you feel a sense of belongingness, we can go to church together! ^_^ Let us know!

God is awesome all the time! ;)

    Hi guys ask Ko lng yung dad Ko kc ni require mag 501 and 502 then Sabi Sa slec May Nakita daw Sa X-ray Nya Pero ayaw namn nila sabihn samin Kung ano result Basta Sabi repeat X-ray the next day so what we did is nag paconsult kmi Sa pulmo ng st Lukes then requested for X-Ray para Lang Sa peace of Mind. So nung Monday we got the result from slec and St Lukes global city both results are normal lungs so the pulmo from st Lukes gave us a medical cert that my dad is fit to travel and no infectious disease
    After a few hours slec called us stating that they gave us a wrong result and then may infiltrates daw Sa right lungs. So nagtaka kmi. And now we received an email from bupa Na required dad Ko to have a sputum test and repeat X-ray after 3 months the prob is were due to travel on sept 13. And yung result ng sputum is 8weeks pa. Possible ba Na ma appeal this case. Kc 2 doctors Na naconsult namin and negative yung X-rays ni dad for tuberculosis and the. Tourist visa Lang kmi 2 weeks Lang Sa oz. Awww nakaka stress. Grant Na visa namin yung Kay dad nlng.

    Hi @travellergirl! My hubby has to do the sputum test kc may nakita din sa x-ray nya. But that was when we applied for immigrant visa. So, we have the luxury of time then. In your case, I'm not sure if you could appeal pero strict talaga cla sa mga x-ray results. Itry mo nalang kc 2 weeks tourist visa lang naman.
