melaniecharlton Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hello, We are applying for a 457 visa and need health insurance. Our agent gave us this link to choose one from but there are soo many. Which one is good? http://www.privatehealth.gov.au/dynamic/healthfundlist.aspx Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanUK Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The Medicare reciprocal agreement covers British citizens for basic health care and satisfies the medical insurance requirement. If you are not eligible for that, I believe medibank is one of the more competitive for hospital cover. Your husbands employer may well have a corporate plan which usually works out cheaper. Be aware you will generally pay more for the same cover on a 457 as you do not have full Medicare cover. I paid $380 for a family of 5, hospital and extras on a corporate plan. I now pay $120 less for almost top cover as a permanent resident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
