The commonwealth government runs the "Medicare" system but using a 1.5% tax on all taxpaying Australians. Medicare is used when you see a Doctor outside of the hospital system. The Doctor may either "Bulk-bill" the visit to the government in which case you pay nothing out of pocket for the visit - or if the Doctor charges for the visit you can claim some money back from the medicare office. Public hospitals are owned and run by the state governments - in most states all care in the hospital is free - but you get no choice of doctor and there can be long waiting lists for surgery. There is also a private health system for use in private hospitals where the person has additional insurance on top of medicare - you then get a choice of Doctor and usually less waiting time for surgery.
My personal opinion is that the weather is better in Sydney than Melbourne (that's not to say that there aren't other things that are great about Melbourne.)
