You must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) while in Australia because it covers your visits to doctors and, depending on your level of cover, hospital treatment, ambulance and medicines. You can find out more about OSHC, who it’s for and what it covers, by visiting the Australian government website: https://www.studyaustralia.gov.au/english/live/insurance Students from Norway, Sweden and Belgium are exempt from requiring purchasing OSHC due to agreements between Australia and those countries’ governments. If you have problems arranging OSHC, contact Student Services for support.
