How much does it cost to immigrate to Australia for medical insurance?

Business immigrants and 495 visa holders do not enjoy public medical care, and must buy private medical insurance, which is about 500 Australian dollars per year and is free after becoming permanent residents. Buying private medical insurance is also a requirement of the Immigration Bureau (clearly stated in the letter being signed), and many new immigrants have not paid attention to this. Without insurance, medical expenses are very expensive in Australia.

Australia's medical system and service system are excellent. All residents, including new immigrants, enjoy free medical care. The government gives everyone a medical card, which they can use to go to the hospital or clinic. In Australia, people are used to looking for a regular doctor or going to the nearest clinic, and such doctors are general doctors, and only when they think it is necessary will they recommend patients to see a specialist. Without the recommendation of general practitioners, specialists do not directly accept patients. Every time patients go to public hospitals, they have to pay about 50 Australian dollars for outpatient service, and other fees are free.
