Many thanks for your reply. I contacted NHS by telephone but not very useful - they advised that I should wait until I returned and then contact my nearest regional health centre!

Welcome to Canberra. I am moving back to Europe after 13 years in Canberra. It is a great city to live in but my advice is not to live too far out - if you can afford it the inner north or inner south are great areas. Can be pretty lonely here - culturally Aussies are NOT the same as Brits!

New to this forum but my wife and I are returning to Europe in July after 15 years in Australia. Probably move to Uk for a few months hoping to reactivate NHS numbers before retiring in Spain or Portugal. Has anybody migrated back to Europe and if so any problems reactivating NHS cover and then using it within the Eurozone? Very excited about returning to European culture.
