Medical Insurances

OVHC

Your OVHC should meet the temporary visa health insurance requirements set by the Australian Government for foreign visitors. Your OVHC should cover, minimum

• Public hospitals costs (intensive care, emergency service, labour wards, medications, admission charge)
• Surgically implanted prostheses
• Pharmaceutical drugs
• Ambulance service fees

 

OSHC

OSHC, Overseas Student Health Cover, is a type of health insurance for international students in Australia. It helps international students to cover their medical expenses while studying in Australia. These expenses include a visit to a general physician or other hospital charges, ambulance service, or purchasing prescription medicine. Your OSHC could partly or fully cover these expenses.

OSHC is obligatory for obtaining a student visa for Australia, as international students are not entitled to Australian public health services reserved for their citizens. The students must have an OSHC for the total duration of their studies.
