Medicare Exemption

Claim your Medicare levy exemption

If you're not entitled to Medicare, you shouldn't be paying the 2% Medicare levy. We help you get a Medicare Entitlement Statement and claim your exemption.

International students who may qualify for a Medicare levy exemption

Who can claim?

Many international students and temporary visa holders overpay the Medicare levy without realising they can claim it back. You may be eligible if:

  • You're a temporary visa holder (e.g. student) not entitled to Medicare
  • You don't have an Australian permanent resident family member covering you
  • You were not eligible for Medicare for all or part of the year

We'll help you apply to Services Australia for your Medicare Entitlement Statement and factor the exemption into your tax return.
