That money goes <strong>apart<\/strong> of the AUD 5,000 in maintenance.<\/p><p style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.75;color:#4b5563;margin:0 0 26px\">Be careful about the previous advice: do not buy the ticket until you have the visa granted.<\/p><div style=\"width:52px;height:4px;background:#3CB6A6;border-radius:99px;margin:0 0 16px\"><\/div><h2 style=\"font-size:28px;font-weight:700;margin:0 0 6px\">6. Medical insurance<\/h2><p style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.75;color:#4b5563;margin:0 0 14px\">For the 462nd <strong>It is not mandatory<\/strong> present it, but Home Affairs <strong>recommends it explicitly<\/strong>In Australia you are responsible for all your medical expenses, and an emergency without insurance can cost you thousands of dollars.<\/p><p style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.75;color:#4b5563;margin:0 0 26px\">We can get you a discount from the insurance companies we work with.<\/p><div style=\"width:52px;height:4px;background:#3CB6A6;border-radius:99px;margin:0 0 16px\"><\/div><h2 style=\"font-size:28px;font-weight:700;margin:0 0 6px\">7.
