Today, one of the common sense that the editor wants to popularize is: immediately after submitting the PR, you can enjoy the Medicare..
If you plan to apply for PR in the future (be it skilled immigrants in 189, 190, employer guarantee 186187, spouse migration 820 / 801, or child migration 802, etc.), it's important to know this in advance.
Medicare is a basic benefit for PR holders. But many people don't know that as long as they submit their PR application, even if PR hasn't signed yet, they can enjoy Medicare immediately. The following is an application for eligibility: Medicare benefits are many, see GP do not want money, have children do not want money, and there is no waiting period! Because Medicare can cover student insurance OSHC or 485x457 insurance OVHC, so as long as there is Medicare, you can stop holding insurance without violating visa terms. It is well known that students need to buy OSHC,. 485 or 457 need to buy OVHC (about $100 a month). If you have a Medicare, student signature, someone can go to your insurance company, cancel, and ask for the rest of refund's insurance, while 485 / 457 holders can have cancel insurance. Let the insurance company stop withholding money from your card every month. From applying for PR to signing, one month less (for example, 189190 independent skilled immigrants), half a year (for example, employer guarantee 186187), or even more than one year (spouse sign 820). If you sign up for PR, you will apply for Medicare,. In addition, it's important to note that Medicare came into effect from the day you submitted the PR, and even if you didn't go to the Medicare card, you could get the benefit. If you submit your PR application on January 1, suppose you went to see GP on January 5 and spent money on it, and you only applied for Medicare, on January 10, then you can still return with the January 5 bill to Medicare claim. Medicare takes effect on the date that the money comes back. It's the date you submitted PR for the bridge signature! Some people submit PR to sign for three months, and if you know this common sense early and stop TR's insurance early, you'll save at least $300. After introducing the little common sense above, Now let's tell you how to apply for a Medicare card (remember to store this post on WeChat) .Medicare Application form download address: https://www.humanservices.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/3101-1306en.pdf Application list:

Then immediately print a note with your Medicare Number printed for your temporary use, but in some places just receive the material. After that, you will receive a one-year temporary Medicare card by mail (from the date of signing across the bridge, if the Medicare card expires after one year and the PR has not yet done so, you can go and renew it). After that, if you sign your PR, since the Medicare Center is connected to the Immigration Service, you will automatically receive a 5-year-old official card (no further application).
