As I said, it wasn't just some empty statement man, too many people came here with me in their teens are acting a fool with the drugs, drinking and the sharing of seed indiscriminately without keeping their eye on anything meaningful for the future. @Hm…: I am not really sure what to make of that statement….if you are somehow suggesting that I am empty, ignorant and superficial, then I’d leave to hear more on your opinion on that.

I recommend you apply to come down to study Nursing i.e. a Bachelor of Nursing or to become a Division 2 Nurse....these two are in very short supply in Australia.

My hope is that the public funding for dental becomes a reality. So far, Rudd has far from disappointed. Thanks for stopping by. Whenever someone in your office, or yourself, is free, I would love to record a brief Skype conversation where we basically discuss the benefits of Medibank private because pretty much every international student I know is on Medibank private and it would be great for people coming over to know why.

I work for Medibank Private, not Medicare, but I can tell you the only way that dental work can be claimed from Medicare is if the patient is on a chronic disease managment plan (eg diabetes plan) with their GP and they are refferred by the GP to a dentist. Primary and Secondary school students are usually covered by their state government. For Australian residents, students and visitors the only option for dental cover is private health insurance, or they can pay an out-of-pocket fee. Note that the upcoming federal budget in May possibly may announce new public funding for dental but most likely this will only be for Australian residents. Cheers, James Hi Mwangi,

If I may ask,are you aware of any resources that international students may be able to use to get the best deals on health insurance? Btw I notice you work for Medicare: is there any way that Medicare can cover dental work? @James: Thank you so much for that clarification, much appreciated!

The type of health cover that overseas students and visitors must buy is not featured on this website. The difference is that cover for overseas visitors includes benefits for the sorts of services that are paid for by Medicare for Australian residents. Cheers, James Hi Mwangi,
