Scan Medical Insurance

What kind of medical insurance should I get?

I live in Canada and I am planning on an extended holiday in Australia. I have a work visa and expect to stay for at least 2 years. When and how should I get medical insurance and what company is the best? CAA?

1. Medibank Private is owned by our government and is our largest private health insurer, so I'd begin by looking at their level of cover and costs to compare with the other companies providing Overseas Visitor and Working Visitor health cover: http://www.medibank.com.au/Visitors-Cover/About-Visitors-Cover.aspx Medibank Private. https://www.mbf.com.au/HealthInsurance/Healthinsuranceoptions/Overseasvisitors/Whatscovered MBF is another major insurer used by many Australians for their private health insurance. http://www.austhealth.com/ This is one of the biggest insurers that provides cover only for overseas workers. http://www.privatehealth.gov.au/healthinsurance/overseas/ Some tips from the government on what to look for in a policy.
