Student Support
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
Current Students
It is a condition of your student visa that you have Overseas Health Cover (OSHC) while you are in Australia. Family members who are with you in Australia must also be covered. Contact Medibank for further comprehensive information.
It is important that you read the health policy of your medical insurer and ensure you are familiar with its contents. Remember, it is your responsibility to renew and maintain your OSHC for the full duration of your course. Failure to have continuous cover could result in your visa being cancelled. The health cover provides for medical and hospital care within Australia from the date of your arrival until the end of your studies.
There are two ways of renewing your OSHC:
- Pay the university Cashier the amount due to renew your OSHC; or
- Pay Medibank Officedirectly the amount due to renew your OSHC.
