Do consulting firms in Australia usually pay for a health insurance plan?

Kearney provides private health coverage - for the consultant and dependents. It’s a great benefit.

It's not a usual thing but some firms (like mine) do have it as a benefit.

Australian citizens and permanent residents have access to Medicare, the national health insurance service. For them, private health insurance is nice to have (and the tax structure makes it so that most higher income earners pay for private health anyway) but is not essential.

Temporary residents, like people on student or work visas, have to pay for private health insurance as a condition of their visa. For them, private health insurance is necessary but they can buy quite affordable coverage on the open market instead of being tied to their employer.

(IE my mom sprained her wrist and has carpel tunnel but she’s still expected to wash his dishes and he refuses to just buy a dishwasher). Please God, let him die first.
