This applies if not you are excused from paying the Medicare levy and your dependents are also exempt or have an suitable level of private cover.

The base income threshold is $90,000 for singles and $180,000 for families. However, you do not have to pay the MLS if your family income exceeds the threshold but your own income for MLS purposes was $20,896 or less.
