Overseas Student Health Cover

For International students, it is a requirement of your student visa that you have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the entire duration of your stay in Australia. OSHC gives you access to out of hospital and in hospital medical services to help you maintain your health. Students are welcome to arrange their own health cover directly with the authorised providers, or through their agents or through us. Further information on all authorized Health Insurance Providers are available here. On the enrolment form, please specify that you require Health Insurance for this option.
