Overseas Student Health Cover Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is insurance for international students to help them with the costs of medical and hospital care while they are in Australia. It does not, however, cover dental treatment. As dental services in Australia are expensive, you should have any necessary dental work completed before you leave home.

The Australian Government requires all international students on a student visa and their dependents to purchase an approved OSHC policy from an Australian registered health fund for the duration of their visas. OSHC is not included in your tuition fees.

Many institutions have arrangements with preferred OSHC providers.

Students, however, are free to choose their own health cover provider. A list of registered OSHC providers, together with general information about OSHC, is available at PrivateHealth.gov.au.

Paying for your OSHC

You must organize and pay for OSHC before you arrive in Australia. Once you receive an unconditional offer to study at an Australian educational institution, you’ll be required to pay your OSHC charge at the same time that you pay your tuition fee deposit.

You can arrange to pay for your OSHC through your educational institution or you can choose your own OSHC provider from another Australian registered private health insurer.
