Healthcare in Australia
The Australian healthcare system
The Australian healthcare system is made up of two components – the public health system, known as Medicare and the private health system.
As an OSHC member, while you may not have access to Medicare, your membership can help you cover all or part of the cost for public and private health services.
The public system
- high standard of care
- well-equipped emergency departments
Private healthcare
- choose to be treated in a private or public hospital
- choose your doctor
- reduce waiting times for treatment
