About Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)

28 Aug

Welcome to OSHC Compare !

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is a health insurance to assist Overseas Students and their dependants to meet the costs of unplanned medical and hospital care which they may need while undertaking formal studies in Australia.

The provision of OSHC for students studying in Australia can only be done by health insurers who have signed the Deed for the Provision of Overseas Student Health Care. The Deed sets out what the insurers must cover, and what they do not have to cover.

Only a small subset of the Australian health insurance market have signed the Deed and are officially able to provide OSHC cover. Currently, the only health insurers able to provide OSHC cover are:

  • Australian Health Management OSHC;
  • BUPA Australia;
  • Medibank Private;
  • Alliance Global Assistance OSHC (formerly OSHC Worldcare)
  • NIB; and
  • CBHS International Health

All of these companies are significant insurance providers in the Australian market. We offer access and pricing for providers of OSHC for students studying in Australia.

Happy blogging!
