Australia’s health system is one of the best in the world. It provides quality, safe and affordable health care for you and your family. It’s a key reason why we enjoy one of the longest life expectancies in the world.
Healthcare services in Australia are funded by the Australian Government and by private health insurance. Australia’s public healthcare system is called Medicare. Medicare provides healthcare for Australian residents for free, or at a reduced cost. It is paid for out of taxes that every Australian pays.
Medicare covers many essential treatments but not all of them. It covers things like medically necessary hospital procedures in public hospitals, visits to the doctor and some medicines. It does not cover treatments in private hospitals, ambulance services and extras services like glasses, dental treatment and natural therapies. This is why many Australians choose to have private health insurance.
The benefits you get when you have OSCH are similar to the cover Australians get through Medicare.
Top 100 HealthCare Startups in Australia:

Sensors may either take the form of self-adhesive polymer sensors or may form part of the component.
A transducer measures the fluid flow between the galleries. CVM™ has been developed for use in both a laboratory environment or on operating equipment. The laboratory testing equipment has rapidly gained acceptance in testing facilities within the aviation industry; often used to control a fatigue testing program due to its proven reliability and built-in fail-safe properties.
