A guide to Student health insurance while studying in Australia

The Australian government has made it mandatory for all international students and their families to pay for their own health insurance in Australia through the Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) scheme. Indian students can buy OSHC through the University or they can arrange their own OSHC independently through an approved provider. If you want to arrange for your own OSHC, then you should visit the Department of Health and Aging website to get a list of approved providers.
