Healthcare in Australia and New Zealand may differ from that in your home country. Australia’s healthcare system is made up of two parts: the public healthcare system (called Medicare) and the private healthcare system.
Private health insurance can provide cover for foreign visitors and enable them to access different parts of the Australian healthcare system for treatment.
1Cover only offers coverage to residents of Australia and New Zealand. Overseas visitors wishing to obtain insurance for their health and medical costs in Australia or New Zealand are not eligible to purchase a policy with us.
If you’re a temporary resident of Australia or New Zealand on a visa heading overseas on holiday, you may be eligible to purchase a travel insurance policy. Please refer to the respective websites, paying particular attention to the eligibility criteria.
