Overseas Student Health Cover

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is insurance that provides cover on the costs for medical and hospital care which international students may need while in Australia.  OSHC will also pay for most prescription drugs and emergency ambulance transport.

If you are an international student studying in Australia, you must purchase an approved OSHC policy from a registered health benefits organization – commonly referred to as health funds – before applying for your visa.  You will need to buy OSHC before you come to Australia, to cover you from when you arrive.  You will also need to maintain OSHC throughout your stay in Australia. You can find out more about purchasing OSHC at:
