Hi there. I'm receiving immunotherapy - octreotide injections. For family reasons, I wish to visit Australia preferably for an extended stay. According to gov.uk it should be possible to use my UK Global Health Insurance Card to continue my treatment through Australia's Medicare system. Has anyone experience of so doing? Thanks
