As a foreigner living in Adelaide, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Adelaide if they have access to public healthcare in Adelaide. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in Adelaide, your access to public healthcare will depend on your visa status and the reciprocal healthcare agreements that Australia has with your home country. If you are from a country with a reciprocal healthcare agreement, you may be eligible for Medicare, which is Australia's public healthcare system. This will allow you to access subsidized or free medical services, including hospital care, general practitioner visits, and prescription medications. The public healthcare system in Adelaide, like the rest of Australia, is known for its high quality and efficiency. Hospitals and medical facilities are well-equipped, and healthcare professionals are highly trained. However, waiting times for non-urgent treatments and specialist appointments can be long in the public system. Many residents also opt for private health insurance to access a wider range of services and reduce waiting times," explained one expat living in Adelaide, Australia.
