When transitioning from the ADF you will need to establish connections with civilian health professionals to take over from ADF health services.
This may include selecting suitable doctors, allied health professionals, and appropriate healthcare cover (insurance) for your individual needs and, if applicable, the needs of your family. When choosing healthcare providers, it is important to do the research and find out as much as possible about them to help you understand if they are a good fit for your needs.
Your relationships with your healthcare providers, particularly your GP, can be among the most important and enduring relationships you have outside of your family. Be aware that the cost of civilian healthcare is not standardised. Different providers may charge different rates for the same type of service so you might want to ask about fees when considering a healthcare provider.
