jjgibbs Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I didnt bother for the first year. But try HIF it aint cheap though me and the other half its around $190 a month!!!! There is always the reciprocal health care option from medicare but be warned they have no clue. They will tell you you are not entitled to it.

Quoll Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 On a WHV you should definitely get travel insurance to cover any medical issues. The reciprocal arrangement isn't a 100% cover and if (heaven forbid) you were stricken with something that required repatriation then you have to pay for that.
