Who comes to us for Expat Health Insurance in Australia?
International students
Students in Australia may need specific health insurance policies to stay protected. This can mean getting cover for routine medical procedures – such as trips to the doctor and dentist.
With international student health insurance, there’s emergency coverage for anything unexpected.
Mobile workers
Australia’s international working community ranges from rural backpackers to high-flying professionals in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.
With health insurance needs as varied as their backgrounds, expats may benefit from custom cover options. That’s why we offer international expat health insurance at various prices and levels, including insurance for families and global professionals.
Rentner
From the golden beaches to the laid-back lifestyle, it’s no wonder so many people choose Australia as a place to spend their later years.
Taking care of your health can help you make the most of later life, whether through screening for age-related conditions or cover for nutrition, sleep and weight management coaching. Cigna’s insurance for seniors and retirees can help you to thrive.

Other nationalities will need to pay for their emergency care in Australia. Our insurance can help you to manage this cost.
Australia is a hot and sunny nation. While that is undoubtedly part of its appeal, it’s important to know that it has some of the world’s highest skin cancer rates as a result. The good news is with Cigna Platinum health insurance, cancer screening is covered.
In the north, you’ll find hot and humid summers, with warm winters too. However, the island of Tasmania sees winter temperatures as low as 3°C.
Having effective cover in place can provide peace of mind if you’re concerned about the impact of the climate on your health, or any underlying conditions.
Yes, in some cases our international health insurance may include cover for repatriation from Australia to your home country. This may apply if your specific treatment or emergency needs cannot be catered for in Australia. Allerdings verfügt Australien über einen der weltweit führenden Gesundheitsdienste und deckt die meisten Behandlungen ab.
The cost of expat health insurance in Australia will depend on your personal circumstances. Certain factors, such as your age, may alter the total price of your international insurance. At Cigna, our flexible, global options can help you build your plan around your budget and preferences.
Der Standard der Gesundheitsversorgung in Australien ist einer der höchsten der Welt. In a 2023 report the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) found that 85% of Australians rate their health as ‘good’ or ‘very good’. It also found the system is efficient, with plenty of doctors per person. However, it’s easier for those living in the inner city and built-up areas to access treatment than those in rural areas.
Yes, expats can get health insurance for their trip to Australia – whether they’re staying for six months or moving permanently. International health insurance lets expats get coverage from the moment they arrive. Remember that expats are responsible for their own health costs in Australia – without insurance, you might need to pay big bills upfront.
Visits to the GP – a type of primary doctor called a general practitioner – are not free in Australia. They may be covered fully or in part by Medicare, which is available to Australians and New Zealanders. As of 2024, GP visits may cost around $100 a visit for expats from elsewhere. International health insurance may help cover some of these costs.
For a visitor to Australia, the best health insurance depends on your circumstances. You can choose from:
- Close Care℠, for cover in Australia and your home country only
- International health insurance, for worldwide cover
- Kurzfristige internationale krankenversicherung
