International Students

The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) requires all international students on student visas and their families (on ‘dependant’ visas) to have health insurance while in Australia. This insurance is called Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). OSHC helps you pay for medical and hospital care that you may need when you are studying in Australia. It also helps pay for most prescription drugs.

Further information about OSHC is available on the web at: http://www.international.adelaide.edu.au/cost/health/

Please contact the International Student Centre with any questions relating to OSHC.
