Health
in Australia: The quality of medical assistance
in Australia is very high and hospitals are perfectly
equipped. Australia has reciprocal health care agreements
with certain countries. If you’re a citizen
of a country that does not have a reciprocal health
care agreement with Australia, it is advisable to
take out a medical insurance policy in your home
country.
Special Precautions: It is a good idea to be careful with food and drinks
as you visit the inland, as in some areas the insects
and animals that are eaten are poisonous unless
they are cooked in a special way.
Advice: if a tourist
has a minor health problem and is uninsured, it
is often cheaper to visit a private physician at
a medical centre than going to the Accident and
Emergency Unit of a hospital.
