Posting on behalf of my wife. She is doing a 10 day hike on the Larapinta and wants to get emergency health cover. From what we have seen, the health cover common at you go with, you have to be picked up by a specific emergency service. So BUPA specify St Johns in the NT but St Johns don't do helicopter in the NT. It seems a bit strange that you dial 000 and depnding on who picks you up will depend if you can be covered for an emergency.
Any hints, tips or pointers on the best way to ensure you are covered for emergency cover would be appreciated.
