Australia remains one of the world’s most rewarding — and most expensive — destinations to fall ill or get injured in. There is no reciprocal healthcare agreement for most visiting nationalities, which means a hospital stay, ambulance ride, or emergency evacuation from somewhere remote like the Outback or the Great Barrier Reef can quickly run … Read more
Australia’s healthcare system is excellent, but it is not free for most visitors.
