Health Benefits

Offering health insurance in this country is not mandatory, but providing these additional health benefits can greatly enhance the healthcare experience for employees by enabling access to a wider range of providers and specialists, as well as significantly reducing wait times. In Australia, Remote provides both international and local coverage plans, offering comprehensive health insurance benefits. When extending this benefit to your team in Australia, Remote makes two options available for enrollment by employees: • Local Coverage Plan: Specifically designed to meet Australia’s regulatory health insurance requirements, ensuring full compliance and local support. • International Coverage Plan: Offers extensive health benefits that extend beyond local boundaries, ideal for employees who may require medical services while abroad or prefer a broader scope of healthcare options.
