Yes, may additional medicare levy if you don't have private health. But this is only if you exceed the income threshold. Generally recommended pa din to get private cover.

Yuing Medicare Levy Surcharge only happens when you dont have private health insurance, and you reach a certain threshold of the combined household income. It is well possible to reach that kung dalawa kayo nagwowork. https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/medicare-and-private-health-insurance/medicare-levy-surcharge/medicare-levy-surcharge-income-thresholds-and-rates#ato-Incomethresholdandrates202324
But, what's more concerning is merong Lifetime Health Cover Loading na tinatawag kapag pinatagal nyo pa yung hindi pagkuha ng private health. If you are 30yo or above, every year over 30 na wala kang private health may patong na 2%. So, kung 35 ka ngayon, 5 x 2 = 10% na patong. https://www.bupa.com.au/health-insurance/why-health-insurance/tax/lifetime-health-cover
Now meron leniency na binigay for new PRs na over 30yo who just moved to Australia. Para maiwasan mo yang LHC Loading, you better take out cover within the 1st year of your residency as PR. When you register for Medicare, merong checkbox to tick to receive the LHC Letter, that's your proof of first registration to Medicare, the private health provider will require you of that. Kung hindi nyo sya napansin, that's fine, you can simply call Medicare to request for the letter per person.
We took out cover on the last month of our first year, para lang makatipid rin kahit sa unang taon
In an ideal world nga sana, wala na dapat private health kasi you already paid for Medicare. But thing is, may mga services na hindi pa rin talaga covered ng Medicare, like ambulance (oo, pag may emergency at wala kang private health, pagbabayarin ka ng ambulance fees after. Imagine, nagka emergency ka na nga't lahat. lol), dental, optical or commonly known as the "extras". Sulit na sulit namin yung dental and optical na yan, though meron pa rin kaming konting pay out for optical haha!
Pros and cons sya. Guess the best way to look at it, is that you are covered in both worlds - public and private health.
EDIT: Applies to 491 holders too. As mentioned in the replies.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

Yup sulit na rin talaga, kaya todo take advantage na lang sa extras para kahit papano magamit mo 'yung at least half ng worth ng binayad mo for the year :P

(1) Yung basic without extras for example sa bupa, comparable ba sa coverage ng medicare?
(2) Yung extras na meron sa bupa, usually hindi covered yun sa medicare?
(3) Kapag medicare lang, sa govt hospitals lang ba ako pwede magpa consult / admit if issue ang budget?
(4) Kapag annual tax filing, pwede ko ba isama yung private health insurance ko sa parang tax relief (di ko alam tawag sa au)?

Responses (based on what I know lang ah):
(1) Yup, actually sa intindi ko, more of may access ka lang talaga sa specialists (based on the package na kinuha mo; may different levels: mas maraming covered, mas mahal haha) if ever and sa private hospitals kapag may private hospital cover ka. Maganda rin 'yung ambulance cover na kasama na sa BUPA packages, though may option na ambulance cover lang. Naka-5 rides na anak ko sa ambulance (approximately $1200 per ambulance service) within 2 years kaya medyo nasulit ko na rin talaga hahaha
(2) Yes. Yung extras ay mostly yung mga "extra" medical services talaga like general and major dental, optical, physio, mental healty, chiro, etc.
(3) Yup, okay naman na talaga ang medicare. Nag-private insurance lang din talaga ako for tax purposes and a little extra coverage for ambulance and dun sa dental/optical services. Kesa ibayad ko sa medicare levy surcharge, gamitin ko na lang sa private insurance
(4) Yup masasama/madedeclare siya sa tax computation

Thank you, @haringkingking and @_sebodemacho (na aussie accent na). Good to know na hindi naman pala nalalayo sa sg ang sistema.
Pero, bakit naman di covered ang ambulance ek ek sa medicare? Yun nga yung definition ng may sakit talaga di ba? Oh naur! 😆

Malaking reaksyon ko rin yan nung una hahaha! Pambihira kako, walang ambulance cover ang Medicare, e yun yung basic.

Special daw kasi pag naka-ambulance, derecho emergency room hahaha. Kapag pipila ka sa emergency area sa hospital, priority nila 'yung malala na sitwasyon. Kapag lagnat-laki lang, mga 2 hours ka maghintay hahaha

Ay totoo yan, jusko. Meron akong kilala may sugat sa pisngi ng pwet nya, matik binigyan lang ng antibiotic. hindi gumaling pre, ang nangayri umuwi pa ng India para lang magamot na tulyan hahahahahaha!
Mahirap rin talaga magkasakit dito e. Di ka papansinin hanggat hindi life or death situation.
EDIT: Pero depende pa rin talaga, meron naman kasing maswerte sa GP na nakuha nila haha. So di ko naman nilalahat, baka sabihin basher ako ng sistema lol. Basta, hindi rainbows and butterflies ang Australia, so please lang wag mag romanticise masyado.

Wahahaha napauwi pa nang di oras sa sariling bayan grabe!
Totoo 'yan, kung minsan nga, ayaw ko na lang magpunta sa ospital kapag may sakit anak ko, tutal papahigain (though libre stay, sobrang lamig pa ng aircon hahaha) lang anak ko dun tapos papainumin ng panadol. Kaya ko rin naman gawin sa bahay 'yun eh hahaha
