General

Hobart, as the largest city, chief port, and capital of Tasmania, is the most populous city of the Australian island of Tasmania. Even though Hobart is the least-populated Australian state capital city, it is a financial and administative hub of Tasmania and a popular tourist destination.

Healthcare

Hobart has a number of clinics and hospitals. Here are the lists of public and private hospitals in Tasmania. As English is an official language, it is very suitable to communicate with doctors in Sydney without any trouble for every expat. 

The Tasmanian Health Service (THS) provides and coordinates public sector health services and health support services. Numerous services at the community level with health promotion programs are also taken care of.

In Australia a large part of the cost of health services is paid by the federal government via the national health care system known as “medicare.” Dentistry, optometry, and ambulance transport are not covered, so patients must pay the full amount unless they hold a Health Care card, which may entitle them to subsidized access. Furthermore, in Australia is available an online summary of citizens medical information, which is called “My Health Record”.

It has many campuses, main ones are located in Hobart, Launceston and the Cradle Coast; there are also campuses in Sydney and offshore programs in Asia. Tertiary qualifications are also offered by TasTAFE, which consists of Polytechnic and the Skills Institute.
