People from Ukraine who arrived in Australia on or after 1 December 2021 are eligible to access public hospital services free of charge under the NSW Health policy for asylum seekers without Medicare.
Being Medicare ineligible severely limits access to GPs. Some of this gap will be filled by the NSW Refugee Health Service’s GP clinics in Sydney. Other refugees may access private GPs, who can potentially be funded by Settlement Services International (SSI) on request; some GPs may choose to provide pro-bono care.

Services Australia are conducting research to identify and validate the current pain points of the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) to better understand potential opportunities and co-design solutions. Services Australia would like to engage with a broad range of immunisation providers (hospital, pharmacy, general practice, aged care, etc) who interact with the AIR on a regular basis.
The initial intent is to engage with providers face to face for 45 minutes, then identify where further workshops may be required for different user groups.
The outcome of these findings will inform recommendations for a full research report to be provided to the Department of Health in December 2022.
Stakeholders who would like to participate in this research should contact air.strategy.experience@servicesaustralia.gov.au.
