Question re Visitors/Workers Visa in Australia

[KSmi 0]

Hi! This might sound like a silly question, but I am going to ask it anyway. If you were visiting Australia for a vacation with relatives (they have been living down under ever since), would you get the visitors' insurance? Oh and another thing to consider, your relatives have been telling you to quit your job in the UK and live in OZ instead. Would that mean you need to get the working visa health insurance instead? Or is there actually a more appropriate cover to get?

Been looking at several websites and found this http://www.medibank.com.au/ to be most helpful. Although it would be best if I could get some feedback from real people. Oh btw, am I "required" by the government to take the visitors insurance before I go visit?

Thanks!

Travel Insurance would be a good idea.

So would posting on a forum dealing with Australian Immigration.

A health insurance is not required but it is always good to have one. It's like the spare tire in the back of your car, you know it's there but you do not use it everyday, but it is there when you do. Check out http://www.nib.com.au/ http://www.medibank.com.au/ iselect.com and the other providers here in Australia.
