Mette,
You also want to check that the medication is available in Australia, especially if it's new. Some medication I was on in the UK wasn't available here but I could have something else that works fairly well although isn't quite as good. I was told that I could pay for the medication to be brought into the country but for me that wasn't worth the cost.

Regards,
Karen
