Have been on a temporary work visa in New Zealand for six and a half years . Have now moved to Australia on an aged parent visa. I have a bridging visa type (a). Have been informed that even though i,m a UK citizen I cannot get medicare . Is this correct?

Thanks Andy

So the 143 is in . Suddenly major hiccup. Tried to change visa to a 173 its going to cost another 5000 bucks. At my age can do without it.
