AliB Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hi everyone and anyone who can help. We are moving over in September on a 457 visa, therefore we will need private health insurance. So looking for advice about who to get the insurance with and what level to get? Also while I'm on here, does anyone know anywhere to get short term rental for when we arrive. Hopefully only for a few weeks while finding a longer term rental in the Mandurah area. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 As you are British you are entitled to a reciprocal agreement between Medicare and the NHS, so you already have some level of cover, but for the visa you need to prove health cover, IMAN do a policy acceptable to DIAC, there should be an advert on this page at the top, dont get too carried away athe moment, just get what you need for the visa, your employer might be giving you a policy as well, you can research it further once you get here and sign up with the likes of Bupa, HBF, Medibank etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbro Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 We went with Bupa for our cover. We are currently speaking to a lady called Edith van Dommelen of Relocate Rentals re a short term furnished property, I can give you her details. I havent used her myself yet so can't give you any feedback. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padchitchat Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hi Alib we too came over on 457 this jan,we used australian unity for health care to get visa application sorted roughly $155 a month for wife ,daughter and me .We also came to mandurah but having been a few times already we booked into the atrium hotel a bit basic but great location for all the running round you will do in first couple of weeks and nice to be able to kick back in the bar after a hectic day ,also prices very good after a bit of haggling .Good luck with everything. Happy days Paddy Chitchat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
