Stop panicking Jan, Even though its good to have private health cover there is nothing wrong with the public system. So if the kids get broke as you put it they get taken to your nearest casualty dept, get assesed as a category 1 to 5 I think, 1 being most serious & will be taken right away & 5 being, well you shouldn't really be there if your a 5. The one thing I would advise you to get right away is ambulance cover. Have a wee read through this site & good luck. http://www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au/CA256...for+health+care |

Bordy's right ...don't panic except if you don't have ambulance cover . Private health care is a CHOICE not a necessity . If you are registered with medicare then you can get doctors rebates etc. two of the main service providers are Medibank Private and HBA . You should consider coverage with dental as well - just had a filling at $195 . re ambulance cover see ambulance.vic.gov.au or ring them on 1300 366 141 Cost is $100 per year for families , $50 for singles Steve |
