2. Overseas Health Cover

As an International Student, it is a condition of your student visa that you have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the entire duration of your stay in Australia. Students must have OSHC as part of their student visa (Please note: there are exceptions to this rule for example some Norwegian and Swedish students).

The University's preferred provider is Worldcare. You can obtain OSHC with Worldcare or with another provider of OSHC.

If you decide to obtain OSHC with Worldcare, the University will receive a commission - this is used to improve services to students.

Further information including links to listings of OSHC providers can be found on the relevant of the Future International Students website.
