Have to say i'm a little bit skeptical of the intentions of this AMA. I work as a healthcare professional at a nearby hospital to The Alfred and from my understanding in Victoria your hospital bills would not amount to anywhere near 50k$ that you are looking for on your GoFundMe. You would have seen a social worker in hospital by now, who could help you applying for Centrelink payments for assistance while your wife is out of work. If you need to act as a "carer" for your wife you could apply for carer benefits... Your hospital bills should mostly be covered by Medicare, and you should be referred to a physiotherapy rehab program affiliated with the hospital, which under the public system would be covered by Medicare... Unless you went private of course. Could you please clarify where these funds will go? I hope foreigners understand that Australian healthcare system is no where near the state of the American system, and patients generally walk out of hospital without a massive bill. All the best with your recovery.
