Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is health insurance specifically for international students studying in Australia. It is a mandatory requirement for your student visa (subclass 500) — you must maintain OSHC for the entire duration of your stay. OSHC helps cover the cost of medical treatment, hospital care, ambulance services, and some pharmaceuticals during your time in Australia. The Australian Department of Health approves six providers to deliver OSHC.
