Overseas Students Health Cover (OSHC) is health insurance for overseas students studying in Australia. You will need to purchase OSHC when applying for a student visa. OSHC covers you when you get sick or have an accident and having Overseas Students Health Cover is your best course of action.
As an international student in Australia, you are required to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the entire duration of your study in Australia. But there are also other types of insurance which you may find useful.
