Thanks - Reciprocal health care is a risk for us, as my mother is a UK citizen but not a UK resident. She's done several big trips round Oz, and did at one stage have a reciprocal card, but got rumbled around 10 years ago, so that's probably on the record. Will check HCF. Thanks

I'm trying to find the cost of health insurance on bridging visas prior to grant of 804/864 visas that cover cardiac, for an 80 yr old female. No history of cardiac issues, but at her age cardiac is the most likely thing to go badly wrong. I rang Bupa and they happily told me all about their visitor insurance, and how they don't ramp premiums up with age, which is true, but they don't cover anything that you might be at risk of when you do get older, like cardiac, cataracts etc. Does anyone know which insurers offer comprehensive (and undoubtedly expensive) visitor health insurance? Thanks
