Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) & Overseas Visitors Health Cover (OVHC)

Embarking on a journey to Australia for study, travel, or work necessitates securing OSHC and OVHC, an essential aspect of your comprehensive planning. As an international student in Australia, overlooking overseas student health coverage is not an option. Moves International is here to facilitate your connection with leading insurance providers, ensuring your well-being with a robust health insurance policy.

What is OSHC or Overseas Student Health Coverage?

OSHC is a mandatory requirement for student visas in Australia. Whether you are continuing your studies or arriving as a visitor or tourist, OSHC, also known as overseas visitors' health cover (OVHC), is imperative for your stay.

Visa Categories Covered by OVHC:

Visitors visas (Subclass 300, 580, 590, 600, 601)
Working holiday visas (Subclass 417 and 562)
Bridging visas
Working visas (Subclass 401, 401, 476, 482, 485, 489)

If you've recently completed your graduate program and applied for a temporary visa (subclass 485), we can efficiently assist you in transitioning from OSHC to OVHC.

Benefits of Overseas Student Health Cover

Under OSHC, you enjoy a multitude of benefits:

Free doctor consultations
Coverage for hospital costs
Access to emergency medical facilities
Emergency ambulance services
Shared coverage for private and public ward stays
Prosthetic devices if required

Maintaining optimal health is crucial for your academic success. Unexpected medical costs and paperwork can be overwhelming, making health insurance an indispensable aspect of your student life. While unforeseen circumstances are not expected, a cautious approach with proper health coverage ensures you can focus on your studies without unnecessary hassles.
