Do I have to pay if I need to go to hospital?
You do not need to pay to go to hospital (or for the ambulance) if you go because they think you have COVID-19, even if you do not have Medicare or health insurance. This applies to anyone from overseas.
You can see this information on the websites of each state or territory:
- NSW: What if I don’t have Medicare?
- Victoria: Information for overseas travellers
- Queensland: What if I don’t have Medicare cover?
- South Australia: What if I am not eligible for Medicare?
- Western Australia: What if I don’t have Medicare cover?
- Tasmania: What if I’m from overseas and not eligible for Medicare?
- Northern Territory: Testing
In the ACT, as well as some other states and territories, people seeking asylum who do not have Medicare can already go to hospital and get free care.
