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”.
