NorthumbrianDavid Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 For the period between landing in Oz and getting out to register for Medicare are we still covered by the reciprocal agreement? Or should I have extended travel insurance for a few weeks? We're PR. Cheers. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthumbrianDavid Posted July 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Thanks VeryStormy - Just so I get this right in my mind: We aren't covered by Medicare until we clear quarantine and register, the reciprocal agreement isn't applicable, we need medical insurance until registered with Medicare? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Unless they have brought in a special regulation since Covid that I a not aware of, then correct. Though, in the event of an emergency, I would be confident that would be waived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
