澳洲健保medicare是透過ATO收取,費用則是年收入的2%於報稅時繳納,若年收入低於18200 AUD,就不必繳健保費且預繳的稅則能全數退還。換言之,這篇文章是給賺太多的人看得。
因背包客本身不屬於居民,適用於Category 3條例,依法來說是不必繳健保費的,因此得以免繳。點我看ATO說明
申請免繳證明很簡單,到DHS下載Medicare levy exemption certification application1表格,列印並填妥連同相關文件寄到DHS即可。
表格我有簡單加註中文說明,有需要就點我下載

Category 3: Not entitled to Medicare benefits
You are exempt from paying the Medicare levy if you:
- were a temporary resident and you did not have any dependants or they were all in an exemption category for that period
- were not an Australian citizen
To claim an exemption you must have a Medicare Entitlement Statement from the Department of Human Services. A letter from Medicare is not sufficient.
To apply for an exemption from the Medicare levy, the Minister for Health must certify you as not having entitlement to Medicare benefits for a particular period.
If possible, we encourage you to send completed applications and supporting documentation by email MES@humanservices.gov.au
All applications received by email will receive an acknowledgement of receipt.
Alternatively, you can send these documents to us by:
