There are a number of benefits that overseas visitors can gain from having Bupa health insurance, ensuring they receive the best possible medical care should something go wrong during their stay in Australia.

And due to a new partnership between Bupa and Migration Alliance, these perks can now be enjoyed by migration agents and all of their customers.

Whether your clients are on working or non-working immigration visas, you can rest assured they will have access to suitable cover that is tailored towards their specific needs as temporary residents.

Temporary residents are not generally entitled to public health cover under Medicare, and even those from countries with Reciprocal Health Care Agreements (RHCAs) with Australia will only be eligible for emergency treatments under the scheme.

However, overseas visitors with Bupa can receive cover for treatments both in and out of hospital, as well as having a choice of when and where to receive that treatment.

Furthermore, individuals get the option of selecting who they want as their doctor or specialist.

Benefits overseas visitors:

·         who have visa requirements regarding adequate health insurance
·         who require insurance for both general and emergency treatment with expenses
·         who are visiting from a country with no RHCA
·         who want more extensive cover than their RHCA includes
