MARYROSE02 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Medicare covers the whole of Australia, so there should be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 On a 489, you are not eligible for Medicare unless you are from a country with reciprocal healthcare arrangements e.g. the UK. If you're from Pakistan, you are not eligible for Medicare until you have applied for PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, sorry, in that case for giving out erroneous information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
