Hi Susan - I'm not sure that I fully understand your question, but I believe you are asking about the health options available for non-Australians who are living in the country and need healthcare. For those who aren't aware of this, Australia has a system known as Medicare, which was instituted in 1984 and coexists with a private health system.
I suggest looking into HCF (Hospitals Contribution Fund of Australia) which was formed in 1932 to provide health insurance cover to Australians. Since then, it has grown to become one of the country’s largest combined registered private health fund and life insurance organisations. HCF provides private health insurance cover for a full range of health benefits including private hospital, Australia-wide ambulance cover and ancillary services. You can find more information at this link: http://www.hcf.com.au/
Another option for you is to use the insurance comparison services provided by this site which enables you to compare Australian insurance providers: http://youcompare.com.au/healthinsurance
I hope this information answers your question, will you let me know?
Thanks, Pat
