Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Australia if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Yes, there are a good number of medical specialists in Australia, offering a broad range of treatment options. People often go to the major state and public hospitals for highly specialized medical care, including comprehensive cancer services and advanced trauma care. Additionally, there are many private hospitals, specialized medical clinics, and research centers providing specialist medical services to both the general public and private health insurers," remarked another expat who made the move to Australia.
