As an American I'm curious what it's like if you need to go to the doctor and how much you pay from say a broken arm to general checkup. Also list what country please

So if you're a NSW resident and you get hurt in Victoria, do you pay full rate or does the ambulance subscription cover you either way?

    Very interesting question! I looked up what NSW has and they don't have anything like that. I also looked deeper into the ambulance Victoria requirements.

    So, if your primary place of residence is not in Victoria, you can't be a member and have to foot the entire bill unless your private health insurance covers it.

    If you're a Victorian with a membership, if you get hurt anywhere in the country, you're covered.
