I did look up what Medicare pays per year for per patient costs: $87,561US for hemodialysis. I also updated a graph I have for US costs over the years: http://dialysisethics2.org/open_images/per_patient_cost.jpg.
So believe your country is paying $68,754AUS ($72,192US) per person for facility hemodialysis, compared to our $87,561US! -for bazooka-style dialysis.
