What's the medical insurance and salary level like in Australia?
hi all Australians or those who live in Australia,
I would like to know what the medical insurance system is like in Australia. Or put it in a simple way, my job offere doesn't say anything about the medical insurance in the salary structure. Should I pay for the medical insurance by myself? If so, how much should I pay for one year?
Another question is what the salary level is like in Australia for an intermidiate IT engineer(4 years of work experience), thanks.
I know it's not language related. But I don't have any Austrlian friends, so that's why i put my question here.

I am possibly very qualified to answet this.
1. If you have a contract to work in Australia for a suc a long period , you will qualify to general health care cover with the hospitals. You will not need to pay. In Australia , it is very different from China. There will be a local (doctor- GP or general practioner) place where you can go, a general visit will cost you around $40 AUD, and medicine will be additional, which is paid for at Pharmancy.
2. In Australia we all pay for basic health cover , in our taxes, which you will already pay. But this tax only cover Hospitals , which are genarally for emergencies only. If some bad happens , the health system will look after you in hospital for free, covered by your taxes.
3. As for salary.....such a posistion could range from about $55,000 to $80,000...per year. This will depend on your responsibilities, scope of the role, and your experience you bring to the role.
I have been managing many companies and am a Local Australian from Melbourne. Which city are you going to work in?
