Hi,
I wonder if some one help me out with a few questions regarding "Medicare" for State sponsored visa 176.
1) Do 176 visa holders have right to use medicare ?
2) Does Medicare include child birth , hospitalization and medications etc.. ?
3) Can a 176 holder searching for a job apply for Medicare Card ?
thanks in advance

As a 176 visa holder you are a permanent resident and therefore eligible for Medicare. http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/
