Arranging health cover before you depart for Australia is an essential component of pre-departure planning. All international students in Australia must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the entire period of their stay.
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is a requirement for most international students. Migration policy states students need an insurance policy for the length of their student visa. Students will need to have their OSHC policy in order to apply for the visa.
If you/your student/customer has applied for OSHC, OVHC or other insurance and the relevant premium has been paid to OSHCglobal (us), we will refund the premium to the student/customer only if his/her visa is not granted.
