Can you get a private MRI without a doctor's requisition in Australia? I know in Canada they try to burn you at the stake if you do that.

Why would one get a private MRI without doctor's orders?
Because you don't have claustrophobia and you're interested in what the MRI might show.
Why should curiosity be covered? A similar scenario involving car insurance, and curiosity of "what's inside", would surely be considered fraud.
It doesn't need to be covered just don't try to restrict me from diagnosing my own health when doctors have shown their shit at diagnostics
