All students in Australia must have OSHC to cover the entire period of their stay, which would have been arranged when you organised your visa.
OSHC covers in-hospital and out-of-hospital medical assistance, prescription medications, and emergency ambulance assistance. Hospitals are for emergencies – life threatening situations or an illness/injury that is quickly getting worse.
If you are feeling sick, chat to a GP at a local medical centre or via telehealth first. If you need to visit a hospital, call your OSHC provider to see if you’re covered, as the hospital may charge you a fee. Depending on your plan and provider, you may have cover for additional services. Make sure you understand your cover to avoid any unwanted charges.
