Health Insurance
It is a condition of your student visa to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the entire duration of study in Australia unless you are exempt. OSHC helps international students cover medical costs while studying in Australia.
International students undertaking formal studies in Australia, and their dependents (for example, spouses and children under 18 years old), must obtain OSHC unless an exemption applies.
The College’s preferred provider is Allianz Care Australia, which offers you a range of benefits. A quote for a single cover will be included in your offer of admission, and we can arrange OSHC on your behalf if you choose this option.
Or you can arrange your own OSHC; please see below for a list of some other providers:
