Medicare is Australia's universal health insurance scheme. Introduced in 1984, its three objectives are:
to make health care affordable for all Australians
to give all Australians access to health care services with priority according to clinical need, and
to provide a high quality of care.
Medicare provides access to:
free treatment as a public (Medicare) patient in a public hospital
free or subsidised treatment by practitioners such as doctors, including specialists, participating optometrists or dentists (specified services only)
Australia's public hospital system is funded jointly by the National, State and Territory Governments and is administered by State or Territory health departments.
HIC administers the Medicare program which includes enrolments and benefit payments.
Contribution to the health care system is made through taxes and a Medicare levy which is based on taxable income.
