417 Visa requirements

When you apply for a subclass 417 visa, you have to be able to state that you have health insurance which adequately covers you while you’re in Australia. If you can’t, you risk your visa not being granted.

417 visa health insurance

As a 417 visa applicant, it is highly likely you will need to buy a health insurance policy from an Australian medical insurance provider. If you’ve ever purchased insurance before, then you’ll know what a complex decision it can be.

To save time, money and effort, you can use the iSelect website to help simplify this complex decision. iSelect takes all the leg work out of the comparison process and can match a policy to your specific needs – and best of all, our service is free!

Medicare & Reciprocal Health Care Agreements

There’s a chance your home country has a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement (RHCA) with Australia, which may enable you to access to Australia’s public health system. To determine if your home country has such an agreement with Australia, pay a visit to the Medicare Australia website.
