TLDR : Answer Summary
For Australians applying for a 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa (Non-O), health insurance is not a mandatory requirement. Several contributors confirmed that no health insurance is required for this visa category, and there were no stipulations regarding a return flight. It's suggested that the process is straightforward and can also be converted to a retired O visa once in Thailand.
