Andrea Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 The state and federal government do not provide medical cover (medicare) for a 457 visa. You would have to get your own medical aid cover (health insurance) here. Some employers of 457 visa employees include this in your salary package, but they are not obliged to do so.

matman Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Also check whether there is a requirement for pre-existing conditions or waiting period. Not sure what chronic medication you refer to, but because this is a pre-exsiting condition you maybe excluded on a medical scheme from receiving chronic medication cover.RgdsMatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
