Guest suzy+1 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi, for healthcare you should be covered by medicare (a reciprocal agreement between oz and UK) so its our equivalent to the NHS, so its free but only covers the basics (GP, urgent hospital treatment etc) have to pay for prescriptions (and ambulance call out). Rent is expensive im afraid, i would search the rental sites now so you know the prices your looking at, obviously closer to the CBD is more expensive. My daughters not at school yet but i think you just pay for school text books etc (unless you send them to a private school-which are cheaper than the UK).
