Hi I moved to oz in 2003 on a 410 retirement Visa that has full working right and before I returned to uk I had been with medibank , hif and Australian unity and only HIf still do cover for 410 visas but not after 65 .they all know I was a member with them but could not help

Hi I have been back in uk for 6 years and want to return to on but cannot find health insurer who insure 75 year olds has anyone any ideas Peter

Hi We got our first 410 visa in 2003 and stayed in Oz for a minimum of six months each year for several years . We renewed visas while in Oz in 2007 and again in 2011 and this visa now lasted until 2021 . In 2014 we returned to uk to renovate and sell a property but several other things happened that delayed our return but we aimed to return for xmas 2019 but our daughter in Oz phoned me to say the covid in china was much worse than china led world to believe and next thing lock down happened . Our visas ran out in 2021 but earlier this year i tried to renew them in Australia House in london but was told it had to be done online to Oz immigration website . I started to do this but one question was to provide proof of our health insurance when we were last in Oz .I remember the first insurance we had was with Medibank and was with them for about five years but we had insured with several other insurers up to 2014 but cannot remember with whom . I had closed our Oz bank account since there was a monthly service charge which i saw no point in paying . since 2014 i have had three laptops and smashed the previous one before binning it and never backed up anything thinking i would not need any files on them . Would the renewal of the visas in 2007 and 2011 show health insurance was held and would a new health cover from date we would like to fly out be accepted .Any advice please. Many Thanks Peter
