Health Care Australia Industry Viewpoint

Australia’s health care system ranks well compared to other OECD countries in terms of life expectancy with both male and female life expectancy being in the best third according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. One of the big factors in this is Australia’s emphasis on prevention and health management, but there is still room for improvement. Australia’s system is a hybrid model where the government provides funding for basic coverage and privately funded health insurance can be sought to provide additional coverage.
