For those of you who are relocating to Australia you will find it has an excellent public and private health service. Medicare is the Australian Government’s health scheme and it gives you basic health cover for treatment at any public hospital and free or subsidised treatment from a GP and some specialists
If you are a permanent Australian resident you are eligible to join Medicare. In cases where your country of origin has a reciprocal health care agreement with Australia you will have restricted access.
To receive your Medicare card you need to go to your nearest Medicare office with your passport or travel documents and enrol. If you qualify you will be sent your card and number. You can get further information ( in various languages) from the offices.
If you are having a baby, permanent residents must apply for Medicare. You will also need a GP. If you don’t have a recommendation from friends or relatives try the local Yellow Pages. Hospitals with a Maternity Unit can be found at:

Australian hospitals are willing to give a tour to expectant mums so you can check it out and see if it is offering just what you want in the way of treatment both before and after the birth.
If possible bring any info from your previous Hospital or GP.
