Australia

Bupa Australia's Medicare Levy Exemption Table is a plan which complies with healthcare regulations in Australia and enables a person to avoid paying the one percent Medicare Levy Surcharge.

The Medicare Levy Surcharge is a tax on healthcare levied by the Australian Tax Department.

 

As a UK national living and working in Australia, you are liable to pay one percent of your total earnings towards the Australian Health service (Medicare) if you earn in excess of:

  • AUS $50,000 as a single person
  • AUS $100,000 as a couple

However, you could save money if you purchase Bupa Australia's plan because you no longer need to pay the Medicare Levy Surcharge. The plan should be purchased in addition to your worldwide medical plan.
