As an international student, you are required to have OSHC to ensure that you are covered in the case of medical emergencies or illness.

What does OSHC provide?

• OSHC covers international students for certain medical costs if you need to visit a doctor or go to hospital
• Check the policy carefully, including the details of what is covered
• Extra cover is available for an additional fee
• Serious medical problems should be treated before you come to Australia, as standard OSHC generally does not cover pre-existing medical conditions

How do I arrange OSHC?

› You can arrange OSHC yourself, or
› Academies Australasia can arrange standard OSHC cover for you with our preferred medical fund insurer, nib.
