The Medicare levy is 2% of taxable income, and less for a low income: nothing up to $28,011, and 10% of the income over that up to $35,013. These are the 2025-26 thresholds, because the ATO has not published the 2026-27 thresholds yet. The low income tax offset is up to $700: full up to $37,500, then it falls.
