Am I required to have a health insurance to visit Australia?

Hello, I'm 18 years old and from Vietnam. I'm applying for an Australia visa and would like to know whether I'm required to have a health insurance to visit Australia. I also would like to know some rejection reasons. Thanks.
--------------------
If you intend coming on a Tourist visa, you are not required to have health insurance though you would be very well advised to take out a good travel insurance policy that will cover medical emergencies. Australia is a VERY expensive country if you need medical or hospital treatment. Most tourist visa applications are denied because the applicant has been unable to satisfy DIAC that they have sufficiently strong ties to their home country to ensure that they will leave the country before their visa expires. Visas are also denied if the applicant cannot show sufficient financial resources to satisfy DIAC that they are unlikely to work illegally.
