Student visa holders generally need Overseas Student Health Cover for their stay. Check current Home Affairs and Study Australia guidance for the rules that apply to you and any family members. Confirm the relevant dates before buying or renewing a policy.
Compare the policy details
Read the insurer’s benefits, exclusions, waiting periods, excesses and claims process. Costs and benefits differ. Ask the insurer how your policy treats any care you expect to need and whether additional cover is required.
Use Apeiro’s comparison link
Apeiro links to KONPARE for OSHC comparisons. Review the policy documents and insurer information before deciding. Ask admissions how your health-cover details should be provided as part of enrolment; buying a policy does not establish visa eligibility.
Keep your records up to date
Keep your policy number, dates and insurer contact details accessible. Speak to the insurer when your circumstances or travel dates change and ask admissions about updating the relevant enrolment records.
