Yes. Australia has both private and public health care.
The public health care system is 'Medicare', funded by the government authority known as Medicare Australia. The care offered by this service allows Australian citizens the right to subsidised health care and free hospital care. It is adequate, but there are certainly issues with overcrowding of public hospitals and extensive waiting lists for elective surgery. On the other hand, compared to many countries which lack such a healthcare system, it is an excellent system which allows all Australians the opportunity to access decent healthcare.
The private health insurance system is exceptional, but the costs are becoming too high for many people. Private health insurance allows for a variety of choices in what one can claim for, including hospital and extras. Included in extras is the consmer's choice of such things as orthopaedic care, dental care, chiropractic, naturopathic and so on, to whatever degree one wishes, according to what one is prepared to pay in premiums.
Australia has two levels of health care. People have insurance based health care that get them a lot of extra lurks and perks and certain tax concession's and then there is the public system which is completely free of charge. However it must be kept in mind that the service in the free system is no where near as fast when it comes to non life threatening surgical needs. any one can see a general practitioner and the government will pick up the tag if it is a doctor that charges the recommended fee. in the case of specialists the government pays back the recommended fee after payment has been made to them. The pharmaceutical benefits scheme keeps the price for most medicines at a reasonable rate and when a certain amount is spent on medicine it starts to cover all medicine expenses overall not a bad system and regardless of your financial situation you always have access to the best medical assistance albeit a bit slower and less convenient for the less wealthy.
In a manner of speaking, basic health care is free in Australia, but somebody has to pay for it.
We have a system called "Medicare". If your local doctor "bulk bills" and charges you the recommended fees, you can see your local doctor for free. If he charges more than the recommended fees, you pay the difference up front.
Medicare is paid for by taxpayers at Annual Income Tax time. This is done by placing a 1.25% levy on your taxable earnings for the year.
Australia has both private and public hospitals. Public hospitals are completely free and, for the most part, offer a high standard of health care.

Yes, of course.
Both children and adults in Australia have access to outstanding medical care, and travellers have who have experienced health issues outside of Australia often develop a new understanding of the exceptional quality of care available in Australia. There are both private health care optionsand oublic options. Private insurance is expensive, but entitles one to some excellent benefits. The public system, which is completely free, has its problems, but it is one of the better public health systems compared to those offered in other industrialised nations.
However, one area that needs to be sorely addressed is health care for both children and adults in remote indigenous settlements.
Some may regard Australia's health care system as a policy based on socialist ideals. However, there is a choice, and the country has both private and public health care.
