I just signed up for private healthcare with BUPA (their most basic plan) as I'm going on a 457. They charged me my first installment and after that they are going to charge me monthly. I'm surprised your insurance company asked you for 10 grand up front! I'm pretty sure you're allowed to pay it monthly.Hey thanks for your quick reply again!
I wonder why do things have to be so complicated here?
So if I go for a 457 Visitor FAMILY cover for 4 years then I have the following questions:
1. What if I leave Australia before 4 years. Can I get refund?
2. What if my visa changes from 457 to a temporary resident 485?
3. What if my visa changes from 457 to a permanent resident 175 or 885?
I hope I'm making sense
Many Thanks!
EDIT:
Oh btw, just to add.. my wife is a doctor. Will she get any special coverage when she starts working that might help both of us? Any idea?
Theres a part of the form where you can sign up for the 30% discount if you have a PR. I'm sure you can make this change whenever your PR comes through
Oh and I'm being charged ~180 per month for myself and my wife. Both under 30.
Hope this helps!
