Overseas Student Health Cover - Duration & Costs

It is a condition of an Australian student visa that the student holds valid overseas student health cover (OSHC) for the entire duration of their study in Australia. OSHC is a private health care arrangement which helps cover the costs of medical treatments should you get sick or have an accident.

OSHC Duration

Your OSHC policy duration must match the full . A temporary student visa typically allows you to stay in Australia for the duration of your program. Dependent family members who come with you to Australia are usually able to stay the same length of time as you, but they cannot stay once you have left the country.

The OSHC policy duration is calculated based on full months of the duration of visa, and not the duration of scholarship which may be received by students.

For students who complete their program before the expiry of their OSHC policy, students can request a refund from Allianz Care Australia for unused portions of their policy.
