RACV
Doesn't cover pre-existing Medical Conditions, although you can apply for extra as I did, Asthma, as long as it isn't severe, will be covered for extra $50, and excess $250.
It costed $123 for basic cover for 31 days +$50 (Pre-existing) = $173.00
Pretty expensive peace of mind, but I trusted that they would come-through for me, if something had gone wrong, thankfully nothing did :)

WorldCare AUD$113
Covers some pre-existing Medical Conditions. Covers Asthma as long as you haven't been treated for Asthma in past 12 months (as in hospitalised). No extra forms need to be filled out for this pre-existing condition cover to be included
