I have looked at the Medibank scheme but seem to have to pay for the "full works" which works out at quite a lot. In your experience, what exactly do we need by way of private health care? Am getting confused with Ambulance cover(?) and also whether to arrange medical insurance in England or wait until we are over in Perth....... Help! Anything would be of help to us.
