ORIGINAL POSTER

Tod im confused as im just in the verge of applying fir my non imm O A based in retirement and now i see posts here and other places regarding this health insurance thing. 

I have looked at it cant find an English version. 

I’ve looked  on the Sydney consulate site and theres no mention. 

Is it now legislated or not. Feel free to delete the post if you like but im certain you’ve investigated this issue and have an answer. Thanks in advance mate.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The current consensus among commenters is that there is no requirement for health insurance when applying for the Non-Immigrant O-A visa based on retirement at this time. However, it is suggested that health insurance may be required when extending the visa in the future. It's advisable to apply as normal, without worrying about health insurance until further information is obtained.

There is nothing right now that says O-A visa holders are requried to have health insurance.

You don't need it at this time and you won't need it until you go to extend your O-A visa in about 2 years.
