Note:

Even in countries where there is a reciprocal agreement, the advice from Medicare is to take out suitable insurance covering you for the period that you will be away. Reciprocal Health Care Agreements do not replace the need for private travel health insurance. www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/public/migrants/travelling/index.jsp
