OSHCGlobal – Studying abroad is a life-changing experience, but along with the journey come many speed bumps and headaches. You can never anticipate the issues that may arise while studying abroad and traveling, which is why travel insurance is a great thing to consider because there’s always that chance…

OSHCglobal – International students undertaking formal studies in Australia, and any dependents (e.g. spouses and children under 18), must have OSHC while they remain on a student visa. Hospital and other medical treatments in Australia can be very expensive for international students. This is because international students are not covered under the Australian Government’s ‘Medicare’ public health insurance system.

Almost all student visa holders are required to maintain a specific type of health insurance known as Overseas Student Health Cover.

Allianz, AHM, Medibank, Bupa are the authorized insurance companies that are legally approved by the Federal Government of Australia to provide Overseas Students Health Care (OSHC) insurance for international students while studying and living in Australia. OSHC is a mandatory condition for student visa application as per visa requirements.

Your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) must cover the full period of your visa. Your student visa can be granted up to the maximum duration outlined as below.
