The Australian Health system is  a mix of both public and private sectors and regarded as one of the foremost health systems in the world . The public health system is called Medicare and Medicare is available to Australian citizens, permanent residents and also overseas visitors who have come from countries with  a recipricol health care agreement.  Health Insurance is a good thing to have to supplement the public health system and you will find that there are associated tax benefits. For the majority of overseas visitors coming to work, live or study in Australia health cover is mandatory and a requirement of the visa. Acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine and other alternative medicines are widely available in Australia but are not always reimbursed by Medicare or covered by health insurance providers.
