Why Many People Choose to Move to Australia on a Temporary Work Visa
Many people who love to travel choose to move to other countries for a short period of time. When they do this, they typically obtain a work visa. One reason to do this is so that you can travel and work at the same time. It is one of the best ways to see the world and get work experience at the same time. While many people choose places to move based on what they want to see, they should also consider several aspects of living in the country that can make it easier or more difficult during your time staying there.
What Makes Australia Stand Out Among Other Countries
Australia is one of the easiest countries to obtain visitor health insurance in. Some countries may not even provide it as a plan or offer very little in their plan that it is not worth it. No one wants to think about getting health insurance while traveling but it should be on your list just in case there are any emergencies. The worst thing that could happen is that you need healthcare in a foreign country but have no way of paying the bill.
Australia offers what is called a 457 Visa which is visitor cover. It is a way to get health insurance that is affordable for your needs. The country offers three different plans that are as low as $2.50 per day and do not go over $4.74 per day. It is very affordable for visitors and you have the option of choosing a basic plan or an all inclusive plan. The private health insurance coverage is offered by the Health Insurance Fund of Australia.
When planning your trip to anywhere in the world, especially if you are moving there for temporary work, you do not want to bother with health insurance because you want to plan all of your fun excursions to see the country. Everyone understands that but at the same time, taking care of your health should be at the top of your list, especially since Australia makes it so easy to do and affordable. Hopefully you never need to use it but it is better to be covered than to wish you were. Traveling away from home can be dangerous and accidents can happen anywhere. Take the right precautions and ensure that you have health insurance abroad.

No Time for a Visit to the Doctor? Download Doctor on Demand
This is a sponsored post with Mums the Word Network and Doctor on Demand. All opinions are my own.
It seems like especially during this time of year I am constantly running one of the kids to the Doctor for one reason or another. In fact, I’m pretty sure they recognize my number as soon as it pulls up on caller I.D. So between visits when I get sick I have a tendency to skip the doctor, or put it off until the last possible moment. I’m already taking days off, or hours off of work to make these appointments, not to mention the cost of the co-pays. But there is an alternative to spending hours in the germ infested Doctor’s office – Doctors on Demand.
Doctor On Demand is a healthcare service that provides Video Visits with board certified physicians, psychologists, and lactation consultants via smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. You can download the iPhone app here , the Android app here or just visit via your desktop computer.
You simply download or visit the site, provide a list of your symptoms, and you are instantly connected to a provider licensed in their state for a video visit.
I decided to give Doctor on Demand a try recently when I couldn’t seem to shake the cold, or fatigue I was feeling for the past several weeks. I logged on one afternoon while I was at work on my break. I was connected to a Doctor almost immediately after entering my symptoms and concerns.
After a bit of a conversation, he informed me that it was just a cold I couldn’t shake it most likely because I wasn’t getting enough sleep or vitamin C! So he prescribed a few good nights sleep, recommended some vitamin C chews, and told me to to e-mail him or call back if I didn’t get better within a few days.
I am so glad that I didn’t take time off work to spend hours in the doctors office, and I was able to get my diagnosis in just minutes without leaving my desk!
Don’t take my word for it – You can try Doctor On Demand for yourself, for free. Doctor On Demand is launching a promotion where they are offering everyone’s first video visit for FREE. The Doctor on Demand is free to register (the app is free to download). You can enter the code at registration and store it in your account and use it at a later date!
