Guest julietbailey80 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Does anyone know of a private medical insurance cover that is available on the 457 visa that will both cover me and my family in terms of health cover AND mean we are exempt from the Medicare surcharge levy tax ( the bit you pay if household income is $160k+). I have had differing advice from the health funds - some saying its not possible to be exempt and some saying you need 2 plans - one for family health cover and one to gain exemption from the surcharge levy. It's just baffling!! Any advice gratefully received. Thanks, Juliet :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockDr Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 http://www.bupa.com.au/health-insurance/cover/overseas-visitors/about/australian-health-system any of the visitors cover with hospital cover should exempt you from the medicare levy surcharge. http://www.bupa.com.au/health-insurance/overseas-visitors-working-visa I'm sure other health providers have similar covers.
