Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is a health insurance you and your dependants are required to purchase as a condition of your student visa.

Under this agreement, you pay an OSHC premium for the entire length of your course with your first instalment of tuition fees. This means that you are covered from your arrival in Australia.

Please note that it is condition of your student visa that you maintain current OSHC for the duration of your visa. If you need to extend your OSHC (e.g. you fail some units and need to extend your time here), it is your responsibility to do this directly with the OSHC.
