Australia has some of the best health outcomes in the world with low infant mortality rates and a high life expectancy, even compared with other developed countries. About 10 percent of Australia’s GDP is spent on health, which amounted to about 202 billion Australian dollars in financial year 2020. Australia’s spending on health also includes the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), which subsidizes the cost of essential medicines and Medicare, Australia’s universal public health insurance.
