Free public healthcare for people fleeing the Israel-Gaza conflict
10 Jul 2024
This is a temporary arrangement under the NSW Health policy for asylum seekers as many who fled the Israel-Gaza war did so on a visitor/tourist visa which does not generally include access to Medicare.
NSW Health public hospitals, mental health services, NSW Ambulance and NSW Health Pathology are required to waive fees for public health services such as emergency care, ambulatory and outpatient care, maternity services (antenatal and postnatal care), mental health services and ambulance transport for emergencies.
Patients will need to provide relevant documentation such as a visa, passport or travel documents.
