Hi I am new to the Forums. Can anyone in Australia tell me whether or not we get financial help from medicare with all the things I will need once I have had my surgery and have a temporary iliostomy. I am a Pommy living in Oz for the past few years, I have medicare as part of my very expensive parent visa, but I do not have private health care. How much will it all cost on a monthly basis.
