Default Medicare & Private Health Cover.

Hi. I am due to fly out to Sydney in a couple of weeks on a permanent visa. Could anyone tell me how to register for medicare? Also, what would be the best Private Health Cover for a family of 5 and likely cost?
Thanks.

Go to a Medicare office. You may need to wait up to 10 days for your visa details to transfer from DIAC.

If you are a newly arrived migrant, you only need your passport/visa to register with Medicare. Some Medicare staff may ask for proof of residence in Australia - this is wrong.
