Recently, the editor often put some detailed introductions about various welfare in Australia, mainly because a new group of TR children began to be invited back to Australia, and many new students came to Australia. However, the editor found that everyone does not know how to make good use of the available benefits covered by his identity. Today, the editor will tell you about the welfare with glasses. I hope my friends can learn to use it alive.

Australian welfare, about optometry with glasses.

1. Optometry

  • All optometry is free for Australian PR and citizen with Medicare cards.
  • Optometry can also be reimbursed for private insurance eg Medibank, Bupa, which new immigrants have basic health care.
  • Foreign students own OSHC medical insurance, can also reimburse optometry expenses.


2. Careful optometry process

  • Australian optometry must be carried out by a licensed optometrist. Because government controls the number of optometrists registered every year, optometrists require very high VCE scores when they take the university entrance examination. They all graduate from famous Australian universities and have long UNSW, courses. Because optometrists are limited, like specialists, optometry in Australia is the best place to make an appointment.
  • Optometry Content: Surprise with the domestic is the Australian eyeglass shop optometry including: medical matching degree, but also basic ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment: including keratitis, dry eye, cataract, glaucoma, diabetes fundus examination A recommendation from an optometrist is also required to visit an ophthalmologist.

3. Medical insurance such as Medibank, Bupa, HCF and other medical insurance reimburses the cost of glasses

  • If you buy a private health insurance program with extras, you can use it to reimburse glasses, look at teeth, acupuncture, physiotherapy, etc. According to the non-rated extra, insurance company you buy, everyone gives the insured $150 / 350 a year to buy frame glasses, contact lenses, optical sunglasses. The glasses reimbursement quota is updated every year, and if it is not used that year, it will not accumulate in the next year, wasting the due glasses quota reimbursement.
  • Most of the private insurance quotas are updated in the natural year, that is, January 1 of each year, including Medibank, Bupa, a very small number of insurance companies are updated in the fiscal year, that is, July 1 of each year.
