Overseas Health Cover
Why Overseas Health Cover is important?
- If you are an international student on a temporary student visa, it necessitates your visa to maintain adequate health insurance during your stay in Australia. This indicates that you must purchase Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) and retain your policy update so long you stay in Australia and hold a student Visa.
- Overseas Visitors Health Cover (OVHC) is a health insurance form which is made for travellers to Australia without having access to Australia’s Public Medicare system for medical or medical expenses. OVHC ensures the potential expenses you may need to undergo in case you require medical or hospital treatment.
- In some concerns, it may be a requirement for your visa to hold a form of OVHC – for instance, if you be a working visa 482 or 485 applicant or an international student.
