Health Insurance (OSHC)

Your health is of utmost importance and hence a priority. An international student wanting to study in Australia must obtain a health insurance for the duration of your stay. It is not only an individual obligation to hold an insurance policy but also a condition of your student visa.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is a health insurance organized for international students to help you meet doctor consultation, hospital treatments, ambulance, and pharmaceutical costs. 

An applicant of student visa must ensure to purchase this health policy to be deemed eligible for having medical expenses covered while in Australia. 

Holding health insurance is only mandatory for international students but also their dependents or guardians (if any) to cover the duration of their stay.

Where can you purchase OSHC?

OSHC is offered only by a small number of registered health insurers under a Deed of Agreement with the Department of Health and Aged.
