Guest sporto Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Anyone know of an ambo only cover that isn't a fortune for 457 visa holders. Bupa want to charge $160 a month for something that Aussies pay $60 a year for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfordy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 My understanding was that on a temp visa you couldnt get health cover.Since bagging the Perm visa im with HBf. My ex partner had to be taken into Freo A+E a few times and with the knowledge we were not Perm Reso's any charges were waived... A quick signature took care of all the meds and attention.

RockDr Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 what state will you be in? the ambulance cover differs in the different states... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest26012 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Try HIF. We are perm residents but we only pay Ambo cover and dentist, physio etc. They seem pretty reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuandbex Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 We have been in Sydney now for 1 month and want to cancel our $170 pm Bupa cover as it basicly covers you for the same as Medicare! The problem is, I can't find anyone who just provides ambulance cover for someone on a 457 visa. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockDr Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 In south australia we just registered direct with the ambulance service, as private health doesn't cover all ambulance trips anyway (lots of grey areas). I know in Queensland, anyone living there is covered automatically, so it does vary state to state. Not sure a bout NSW, I'll have a quick google, see if I can find anything edit to add: so it seems in NSW, the only option is private health.

Guest MADTOM Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Just been shafted. Bought Ambo insurance from Mutual community last year now find it did not even cover us as we are on 457 visa! Bloody good job we did not need an ambulance! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eera Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 We pay ours as part of our electric bill. I have no idea if it's a Queensland perculiarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
