The Importance of Health Insurance in Australia

Australia has a unique healthcare system with public and private sectors. While Medicare covers some medical services, private health insurance offers additional coverage and peace of mind for new residents. We’ll help you find the best health insurance plan to suit your needs.

Types of Health Insurance Available

Australia has two main types of private health insurance: Hospital Cover and Extras Cover. Hospital Cover provides private care in hospitals, while Extras Cover covers services like dental and physiotherapy. The right kind of insurance for you will depend on your healthcare needs.

How to Get Covered as an International Healthcare Worker

International nurses and healthcare professionals moving to Australia often require specific types of health insurance for visa requirements. BUPA guide you through the necessary steps to ensure you’re covered from day one.
