Hi there,
As I said before, I'm not 100% sure either way. If you can't be bothered trawling through the sites I recommended above, you might want to contact Medicare yourself via:
Call: 132 011*
TTY: 1800 552 152 (hearing or speech impaired)
Write to: Medicare at GPO Box 9822 in your capital city
Email: [email protected]
Website: www.hic.gov.au

We're heading over to Sydney next month so I'd really like to get everything like this sorted during this holiday.
