markotsg Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hello My wife is a British citizen, we are planning a move to Melbourne. She will be on 461 Visa. Does she need to have private health insurance cover in Australia or there is a retrospective deal with NHS? Would she have same access to health services as New Zealander or Australian citizen? Many thanks for your assistance regards Marko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi Marko, if she is a UK citizen she will be able to get emergency treatment through the reciprocal agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markotsg Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Many thanks for your response. Does it mean only emergancy treatments ( Hospital) are covered? standard GP visits etc are not covered and have to be funded by Insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
