Hello, my partner and I moved to Sydney February and are having a few problems working our way around the health system! We are from the UK so have reciprocal Medicare agreement, what I don’t understand is what additional private cover we need.
We are both on a 457 visa and currently we pay $202 for essential plus visitors cover with Bupa. I’m not a 100% sure if we actually need this and if it covers anything more then the Medicare will? Also, the joint income pre superannuation is $275k so I need to ensure we have cover that stops us paying the Medicare levy.
Is anyone able to shed any light on the best way forward?
