Health Insurance for Overseas Students

GSA partners with OSHC Australia in helping overseas students find the right health coverage.

Using a quick and simple system designed specifically for international education, OSHC Australia makes it easy to compare options and choose the right policy while saving time and money.

An international student must have adequate health insurance for their entire stay in Australia to satisfy condition 8501 of a student visa.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) in Australia typically covers medical services such as:

• Doctor's visits
• Hospitalisation
• Surgery
• Prescription medications, and
• Emergency ambulance services. 

It may also include some allied health services like physiotherapy and optical services, depending on the chosen policy. Specific coverage can vary among providers.
