Planning to study in Australia? Don’t forget one of the most important requirements: OSHC!
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is a mandatory health insurance for all international students in Australia. It protects you from unexpected medical costs and helps you stay focused on what matters most — your studies.
Whether it’s a doctor’s visit, hospital stay, or prescribed medication, OSHC ensures that you won’t be paying full price out of pocket.
🇦🇺 What Is OSHC?
OSHC (Overseas Student Health Cover) is a compulsory health insurance for students holding a Student Visa (Subclass 500) in Australia.
It provides coverage for:
- ✅ Medical services (GP visits)
- ✅ Hospital stays
- ✅ Emergency ambulance services
- ✅ Certain prescription medications
You cannot be granted a student visa without valid OSHC for the full duration of your course.
🧠 Why Is OSHC So Important?
Here’s why every international student in Australia must have OSHC:
1. Medical Care in Australia Is Expensive
A single visit to a doctor can cost AUD 80–100, and hospital treatment can easily reach thousands of dollars. OSHC helps reduce these costs significantly.
2. It’s a Visa Requirement
Without valid OSHC, your student visa cannot be approved. It must be active from the day you arrive until your course ends.
3. Protection for Your Study Journey
OSHC offers peace of mind. Whether you catch a flu or need emergency care, you’re covered throughout your academic journey.
📝 How to Get OSHC Easily?
There are several government-approved providers (such as Bupa, Allianz, Medibank, NIB). While you can buy it directly, the easiest and most reliable way is to go through a trusted education agency like Gracindo Education.
