Do I Need OVHC On My Student Visa?
If you’re here on a Student Visa (subclass 500), OVHC isn’t the cover you need. You’ll require Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) instead. OSHC is designed to meet the specific healthcare needs of international students and is a condition of your student visa. It works similarly to OVHC but is tailored to student life, offering cover for GP visits, hospital treatment, and prescription medications.
