Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
Health insurance, called Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), is compulsory for international students studying in Australia. OSHC covers you for certain medical costs if you need to visit a doctor or go to hospital whilst you are studying in Australia.
Unless you let us know that you have already arranged OSHC, the NSW Department of Education and Training will arrange standard OSHC cover for you with Medibank Private. We will invoice you for the insurance premium along with your tuition fees.
In 2009, the cost for standard OSHC is A$354 per year per single student.

| Single student | Student with family rate | ||
| 6 months | A$177 | 6 months | A$354 |
| 1 year | A$354 | 1 year | A$708 |
In 2010, the cost for standard OSHC is A$388.80 per year per single student.

| 6 months | A$194.40 | 6 months | A$388.80 |
| 1 year | A$388.80 | 1 year | A$777.60 |
Health cover cards will either be delivered to you directly from Medibank Private or via the International Students Centre. This process may take a few weeks. If a student needs medical attention before they receive their membership card, they should pay for the service and keep all receipts. They can claim a refund from Medibank Private when issued with their card.
You should check the policy carefully in advance, including the details of what is covered. Optional extra cover is available at an additional fee.
Serious medical problems should be taken care of before you come to Australia, as standard OSHC generally does not cover pre-existing medical conditions.
For more information about OSHC, visit the Medibank Private website.
