Medicare Safety Net

Can anyone tell me if we will qualify for the Medicare safety net scheme. We hold a Subclass 136 permanent visa.

Thanks

Yes you should. There are means-tests (salary largely) to decide which level it kicks in at.

Yep I think so

I think as a couple earning a good wedge, you get the safety net after $700 of treatment in a year.
