To begin studying as an international student, there are a range of entry requirements you may have to meet. For some countries, you will need health insurance before you can apply for your Student Visa.

Health Insurance helps cover you for medical expenses while you're studying abroad, including:

• # Doctor Visits
• # Hospital Admission
• # Emergency Ambulance
• # Prescription of Medicine

By applying for health insurance, you get insured against unforeseen medical expenses for the entire duration of your stay in abroad.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is one of the prerequisites to apply for the student visa in Australia. It is one of the documents you enclose while applying for the student visa. Apart from the fact it is mandatory, OSHC is very beneficial as it covers a wide range of medical expenses. When you complete your application, you will be asked to provide proof of payment as well as confirmation that your OSHC coverage begins when you arrive in Australia.

As a student or migrant looking to study or work in Australia, having OSHC (Overseas Student Health Cover) or ​OVHC (Overseas Visitors Health Cover) is a must. Overseas visitors to Australia are not eligible for free healthcare coverage or free treatment in public hospitals. Without health insurance if you were to be caught in an unfortunate situation without health insurance you may end up with expensive medical bills.

You will need a valid OSHC policy during the time you hold a student visa . If your visa is extended, you will have to renew your health cover as well to meet the conditions of your visa as per Australian Government requirements.

Healthcare system is very robust in Australia and it is costly also. Therefore purchasing OSHC is a smart financial decision. There are multiple players who provide this health insurance and it normally costs between $450 – $600 based on the plan you opt for.
