    There are Womenā€™s Health Centres as well. I used to use them for ā€œfemaleā€ problems eg pap smears which include breast examination (not mammogram), domestic violence, etc. They are staffed by women (medical/non medical) only and no men are permitted inside the centre. They represent a safe place for women needing medical attention. Thereā€™s enough info on the internet to know exactly what they offer. Good video once more. Cheers.
  • I am 30 and was born here in Australia. I have had health issues a few years ago and required a diagnostic procedure to figure out what was wrong. I could have waited months and gotten it free on Medicare at a public hospital, but I opted to go private and pay out of pocket since I dont have health insurance. Medicare refunded me a small amount which was awesome. Since then I've been on daily medication that is covered under our PBS which in other countries would cost hundreds per month. I pay 40$ every two months. Our Medicare, PBS and public health system is world class and such a gift and blessing. I'm super grateful for what we have in Aus.
  • There is an excellent flow in your presentation and like it very much !
  • @MrMohamedsaleh
    Thanks for sharing these valuable information. Keep the good work up šŸ‘ŒšŸ»
  • You exude so much cheerfulness, itā€™s always nice and quite informative to watch your videos. Iā€™ll be in Australia on my WHV, hopefully, in a couple of months therefore Iā€™m trying to maximise the information before departure šŸ™‚ Nice job!
  • You get temporary Medicare from the day you apply for any PR visa. If you don't get the PR, then your Medicare card is cancelled, but you don't have to pay back any fees that might have been used for that period. Given that PR can take 4 years, it's important to apply for the medicare as soon as you get your interim pending visa.

    Hi, this was very helpful for my highschool age son as he prepares for life in the real world!
  • @dq3391
    Thank you very informative.
  • @newbris
    A FYI that may help your readers. Ambulance services are fully covered (ie free) in some states. In some states that free ambulance includes covering you for an ambulance in all other states, including those that normally charge. For example, a Queensland resident that has a car accident tin Victoria gets free ambulance treatment paid for by the Queensland Government, whereas a Victorian resident that has an accident in Victoria has to pay (unless they take out ambulance cover).
  • @kayelle8005
    Great video. Very well explained. One thing to note is that some states have automatic ambulance cover, so itā€™s free whereas other states and territories will charge you a fee so you would want to have ambulance cover which you can get as standalone insurance.
