@thom73 - Being rural/regional - are you aware of the various Patient travel & accommodation Assistance packages for those living outside the bigger city/towns that don't always have access to high end medical procedures? You can get remibursed on some travel and accommodation expenses (even if staying with family or friends in some states.)
You can also join the Rural/Regional private group, where a lot of the problems associated with rural/regional treatments are discussed, or tips passed on ;)
Which state/area are you from? As @June1952 says - you can add it to your profile & then others in the area may be able to help support you too & point you to specific services in your area xx
This document covers ALL the Patient travel & accommodation in Australia ..... check it out - I hope it helps xx
