Thanks very much for your advice.

Being a hopefullly soon to be Aussie bandit I can assure you there are plenty of surgeon available if you have any problems. What sort of visa are you coming out on - is it just a tourist visa - not being an Aussie citizen you wouldn't be covered by our public system so you would need to check out your own insurance or if travel insurance will cover it.

Mind you, while medical treatment may not be the cheapest here it is considerably less than in the USA.
