Learn about OSHC and what to do when you are feeling unwell.
An important requirement of your student visa is that you have adequate Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) while you are studying in Australia. As a full-fee paying overseas student, your original tuition fees will have included an additional charge for visa length OSHC.
OSHC covers the cost of hospital and out-of-hospital medical treatments (such as a visit to your GP), some pharmaceuticals, and emergency ambulance services while you are in Australia.
You can contact your Bupa on-campus consultant (OSHCSA@bupa.com.au) to pick up your Bupa membership card or register and log in to myBupa to order a card to be sent to your home address in Australia. You will need your Bupa membership number to register. Please check your BUPA verification letter for your membership details.
You can meet with a Bupa representative on campus or at one of their retail stores:
