Policy Document for Victorian Hospitals. This policy outlines hospital access arrangements for people seeking asylum living in Victoria. While many people seeking asylum will have access to a Medicare card, some do not. All Medicare ineligible people seeking asylum are to be provided full medical care in Victorian public hospitals as admitted, non-admitted or emergency patients. You can also find a guidance note on ‘Identifying a person seeking asylum’.
