Many people are evacuated on private jet, and to get one of these back to Perth, it will usually cost between USD70 - USD100 THOUSAND dollars.
to be evacuated on a commercial flight with a doctor will cost around USD20,000 these days.
there are many cases where people have had to mortgage their homes to get their family members back to Australia when they did not have insurance.
its the best money you can spend when on holiday.
