Australia Practical information

Travel insurance

If your health insurance doesn’t cover you for medical expenses abroad, consider getting extra insurance – check http://www.lonelyplanet.com/bookings/insurance.do for more information. Find out in advance if your insurance plan will make payments directly to providers or if it will reimburse you later for overseas health expenditures. In Australia, as in many countries, doctors expect payment at the time of consultation. Make sure you get an itemised receipt detailing the service and keep the contact details of the health provider.
