Heathcare once I get there
I'm moving to Sydney in May on a PR visa and just wondered what i should do about healthcare whilst i'm there. Obviously here we have the godd old NHS but what happens if i fall ill over there, does their healthcare system cover me?
I know that emergency help is given but what about if anything became longer term. And also as i wont be living here will I still be entitled to the NHS?
Thanksfor any advice

Health insurance may be advisable, and once you earn over a certain amount is effectively compulsory through the Medicare levy surcharge.

It's advisable to join the ambulance service cover for the state in which you reside. In Victoria it costs $110 a year for a family membership.( This also covers you for the rest of Aus)
Another extra cost you never incurred in the UK
If your a PR in Australia and go on holiday to the UK you will be able to get medical assistance through the NHS under a recipricol agreement.
