but from our experiences you are only covered till your return date and nothing more, this is the reason who you put date of departure and date of return on the policy. Once you land in Australia they are not obligated to pay anything more, in Australia you are then covered with medicare and private medical fund. Even our GP confirmed this, as i didn't want to do anything illegal with medicare. Always pays to read and double check/read all fine print.
