OVERSEAS STUDENT HEALTH COVER

unnamed

As an international student, you are required to have OSHC to ensure that you are covered in the case of medical emergencies or illness.

What does OSHC provide?

  • OSHC covers international students for certain medical costs if you need to visit a doctor or go to hospital
  • Check the policy carefully, including the details of what is covered
  • Extra cover is available for an additional fee
  • Serious medical problems should be treated before you come to Australia, as standard OSHC generally does not cover pre-existing medical conditions

How do I arrange OSHC?

› You can arrange OSHC yourself, or
› Academies Australasia can arrange standard OSHC cover for you with our preferred medical fund insurer, nib.
