Every person who comes to Australia under a student visa is required by law to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).

Medibank Private is the organisation that provides this service to International Students. You are covered by the OSHC from the day you arrive in Australia, until the specified cover expires.
The Medibank cards take around 6 – 8 weeks to be delivered to the Institute, but if you have any medical problems, you can go to any doctor, pay for the consultation and ask for a receipt. Medibank Private will reimburse some of the consultation expense provided you produce the receipt.
