How much does it cost to see a doctor in Australia as a tourist?

How much it costs to see a doctor in Australia as a tourist without insurance is $80 to $120 for standard GP consultation 15 minutes in city like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, $70 to $100 in regional areas, and $150 to $200 for long consultation or after-hours. For specialist, $200 to $400 for initial. For emergency department in public hospital, $500 to $1,000 if not covered by Reciprocal Health Care Agreement or insurance. For private hospital emergency, $500 to $1,500. If you are from UK, Ireland, NZ, Sweden, Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Belgium, Malta, Slovenia and Italy, you have RHCA with Australia, so you can enrol in Medicare and see bulk-billing GP for free for medically necessary treatment, though many GPs charge gap $30 to $50. For tourists with Overseas Visitor Health Cover OVHC from Bupa, Allianz, Medibank or nib, GP visits are covered with $0 to $30 gap if you see direct billing doctor in network, otherwise you pay upfront $80 and claim back 100% up to $80 to $100 per visit depending on policy. Prescription costs $20 to $80 full price without PBS. So without insurance, doctor costs $80 to $120 GP, with OVHC $0 to $30, with RHCA possibly free if bulk-billed. That is why travel insurance with $1M medical is essential, because one hospital stay costs $1,500 per day, so GP cost is small compared to hospital.
