I´ll try and keep this short (I´m currently on my winter holiday in Spain, as planned, so I need to get outside soon for some 18c sun) and also I don´t want all the waffle to get away from the main point.In short I am British and have been thinking about moving to Australia in the future, so I was wondering about the Type 1 costs and possible healthcare situation over there.So ´tourist prices´and also the various future situations which would at some point involve me working and having some kind of medical insurance related to paying tax and social security or however the system works over there.In terms of medical costs I have been fortunate to live in the UK as my diabetes costs have been minimal under the NHS system where (outside of paying the usual income tax and social security) there are no extra costs for diabetes related medications.However I know that anywhere outside of the UK (including the EU since Britain has left) these costs are going to become potentially massive. I´ll leave it there for now as I don´t want to pad out this first message too much with various possible scenarios, or how the UK sucks apart from the NHS cost thing. Thanks for any input.</blockquote>
