Not sure if you can do so before you go to Australia. What kind of visa will you have?

Think you have to set it up on arrival.

But I found that most say they wont cover the condition for the first 12months!

These look ok for insurance, but again told me 12months wait until condition covered.

If your from the UK you should be covered for emergeny medical in public hospitals by the UK/AUS agreement. Need to take your passport and visa to medicare office.
