Report of a double leg break in Nerang
- Thread starter Ridenparadise
- Start date
Bloke at work crashed his moto with no ambulance cover. Two ambulance's and then air lifted, he was looking at a massive bill. His wife went down to centre link and sorted him out with a health care card which they back dated to the date of the accident, which entitled him to free ambulance cover from that date. Very very lucky boy!!

Are you saying that if you're on the dole in Australia you get free ambo cover? What about students?

It continues to shit me beyond belief how students are not entitled to health care cards...

I would have thought that would be fraud - ie a criminal act.

Yeah if you have health care card in NSW you don't have to pay. My whole family was taken to the hospital down the road against our wishes, we could have driven but ambo's were worried. Then bam 1800 bill even though all three of us in same Ambo for 5 klms!
As it was a result of our house burning down, centerlink helped straight up by back dating health care card to date of fire. Though the day before the fire I doubt we would have been entitled.

True I guess but you'd have a lot more spare time to do your own services:single_eye:Plus I imagine the dole would hardly cover the cost of a full bike service

I think that people who enter into full-time training in order to come out at the end with a job should receive at least the same benefits as those who are not working and on benefits (for whatever reasons). It's not like you can study full-time and hold down a job... It costs a shitload of money to go to uni these days, at the very least students should get a health care card to make life slightly easier. It's not like people go to uni for the hell of it anymore.

Correct me if I'm wrong, NSW is the most fucking ridiculous for Rego costs & licensing, hence why my boss registers his cars in QLD or VIC.
Poor bastard, it's the recovery/ rehabilitation time off that will hurt his hip pocket the most...
