Some services are not covered by Medibank’s policies. Be aware that there may be some exclusions for pre-existing conditions and you may have to serve a waiting period to receive some services. Medibank OSHC will pay benefits towards your medical and hospital treatment, medically necessary ambulance transport and most prescription medicines. The five registered OSHC providers are Medibank (UNSW’s preferred health cover provider), BUPA Australia Health, Allianz, nib and Australian Health Management. These students will need to provide proof of official health insurance cover from their home government provider. The only exception is for students from Belgium, Norway and Sweden who are covered by CSN or Kammarkollegiet. It is your responsibility to ensure your health insurance policy matches your arrival and departure dates. If you are in Australia on a student visa you will need to pay for health insurance through the Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) scheme and maintain insurance for the duration of your visa.Īll international students must be covered by health insurance from the date they arrive in Australia until the date they depart, regardless of when they start or complete their program.
