Do Aussies need to worry about health insurance and visa runs if they obtain a Non-O retirement visa before coming to Thailand?

@Jack *******
 Correct. Need to deposit 800k in the first month to season it for 2 months prior to 1 year extension. You definitely need the non o to open a bank account now, if you don't have one already.

How can I switch from an Elite visa to a Retirement visa in Thailand without an embassy income certificate?

Get an O-A in your home country and start sending the 65k to your Thai bank account each month. In a year you now have the proof.

Is using Wise better than traditional banks for transferring money to Thailand?
Stephen *******
Nobody gets zero ATM fee unless you have a Thai bank account. They mean they don't charge a fee. The Thai bank still charges a fee of 220 usually.
