Medical system of Australian immigrants

1. Australian clinic

Clinic is the largest and most common place to see a doctor in Australia. General family doctor/general practitioner, also known as GP in Australia, will serve patients in the clinic. Australians usually go to the clinic to see a general practitioner when they encounter headaches, brain fever or minor physical problems.

In Australia, if you want to enjoy the benefits of the medical system comprehensively and conveniently, you need to carefully choose a GP as a fixed general practitioner. Because Australian GP will not only help patients prescribe medicines and other small things, but also keep complete medical records. These detailed records are necessary for going to the hospital.

The fee standard of the clinic: the reference fee of family doctor GP is about 37 Australian dollars at a time.

Second, the Australian medical center.

Medical centers in Australia are similar to outpatient clinics. Ophthalmologists and obstetricians are experts.

If you have a medical card, you can go to public hospitals for free through the recommendation of GP general practitioners. If you have private insurance, you can directly make an appointment with a specialist in the medical center, but you should also check with the insurance company in advance how much you can reimburse.

That is to say, if GP general practitioners find that the patient's condition is beyond their ability, after layer-by-layer examination, according to the severity and condition of the examination report, GP will decide to recommend the patient to relevant specialists.

Costs: Experts can usually decide their own costs. According to different specialties and regions, the medical expenses of specialists range from one hundred to several hundred Australian dollars.

Third, Australian hospitals.

Hospitals in Australia are usually divided into public and private hospitals, each accounting for 50%.

Public hospitals are free, but their resources are limited and the waiting time for seeing a doctor is very long. In addition, in Australia, no matter Australians or foreigners, all emergencies are sent to public hospitals for free treatment.

After patients enter the hospital and hang up the emergency number, they need to wait for the nurse to ask about symptoms and medical history in advance, and then divide all patients into several grades according to the urgency of symptoms. In other words, the time of seeing a doctor has nothing to do with the order of seeing a doctor. Giving priority to emergency patients is the principle of seeing a doctor in Australian hospitals.

Expenses: If hospitalization surgery or treatment is needed, contact the insurance company before hospitalization, inform the insurance company of the specific treatment plan and stay in the hospital, and confirm whether the medical expenses can be reimbursed.

Generally speaking, in Australia, if it is not an emergency, most people will go to the general practitioner's clinic or medical center first. If the general practitioner thinks it is necessary, he will refer the patient to a specialist clinic or a hospital specialist clinic. Then the specialist or the specialist clinic of the hospital confirms the patient's condition, gives treatment or suggests hospitalization observation.

Extended Reading: Social Taboo of Australian Immigrants

First, daily conversations with Australians are taboo.

At home, it is common to make loud noises in public places, and many people in China don't think so. But if domestic investors live in Australia, this habit needs to be corrected. Australians are very polite and pay attention to the etiquette in public places. They never make noise in public places.

In addition, Australians think rabbits are unlucky animals and have very special taboos on rabbits. Therefore, after immigrating to Australia, try to avoid mentioning rabbits when talking to Australians, and talk more about sports, travel and what you have seen and heard in Australia.

Second, immigrants should know the taboo of meeting each other.

Australians usually shake hands when they meet. But when some close women meet, they kiss each other's faces instead of shaking hands. Because Australians' first names come first and their surnames come last. Therefore, in Australia, when addressing others, you should say your last name first, and then connect with miss, Mr. or Mrs. ... acquaintances can call each other nicknames.

Australians are easy-going and have a strong sense of time. Punctuality in dating and not contacting in advance are taboos in Australia.

Third, Australian immigrants should know etiquette taboos.

In social situations in Australia, small gestures such as stretching and yawning are forbidden. Besides, many Australian men don't like hugging each other or hugging each other tightly.

Fourth, Australian business etiquette taboos

Like many western countries, Australia is also a country that advocates equality. Australians don't like telling others what to do with orders, and they don't like others to speak with orders.

It is worth noting that Australians have a clear distinction between public and private. Take eating with a business partner as an example. "Eating" in the Australian population is simply eating a meal, which is different from the popular table culture among businessmen in China. New immigrants should not think that having dinner with business partners will make business easier. In the eyes of Australians, business cooperation and friendship do not need to be established at the dinner table.

Therefore, when we apply for immigration to Australia, we should know more about the daily etiquette taboos of Australian natives, which will help us get along with them and integrate into local life more quickly.
