Not in SA at least. There’s concession cards that sometimes helps, sometimes even makes it free, but it’s basically random how much a clinic will discount you, if at all. If you’re poor you’re generally expected to languish in the public system for years, assuming you can find treatment at all. A lot of medical stuff is in the private sector now. I see people using afterpay or credit cards for medical stuff. Some clinics offer payment plans, sometimes interest free.
thats sad, is she not low income enough and aus doesnt have a free healthcare for low income patients?
in the states, depending on the state you are in, you can go on medi-caid, if you are very poor like earning less than a certain amount.
