Medical benefits for migrants in Australia
1. Universal free healthcare system
Under Australia's universal free healthcare system, publicly-funded patients are entitled to free accommodation and food in public hospitals, treatment, nursing care, and continued treatment after discharge from hospitals according to the government's designated Medical Benefits Schedule (MBS).
2. Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS)
The Australian government has established a Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), which details the reimbursement amounts for various types of medicines. This list is constantly being updated and new medicines are included every now and then. Currently, there are more than 8,000 medicines in over 2,500 categories in the PBS medicines list, with more than 600 categories updated each year, and almost most prescription medicines are subsidized under the PBS.
3. Chronic Disease Management (CDM)
Public free medical care guarantees that everyone has access to a doctor and can afford to see a doctor, with priority subsidies given to serious and urgent illnesses. Worldwide, chronic illnesses that are not serious enough to warrant free healthcare are not covered. The Australian health system provides free treatment for these chronic conditions. For example, post-treatment care for arthritis, asthma, back pain, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression are all included in the Chronic Disease Coverage Program (CDM).
4. Reciprocal free healthcare
Australia has signed medical reciprocity agreements with the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, Malta and many other countries, and citizens of these countries enjoy free public healthcare in Australia. Of course, if you are a Medicare holder, you can enjoy free public hospital emergency, outpatient and inpatient services, as well as other healthcare subsidies when you need healthcare services in these countries.
