Here's what to expect when getting health cover as a visa requirement for entry to Australia.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

If you're planning a trip to Australia, it's important to make sure you have the right health insurance coverage. Overseas Visitors Health Cover (OVHC) is designed specifically for non-Australian residents who are visiting the country. It provides coverage for medical expenses, hospitalisation, and emergency services.

OVHC is a requirement for many visa types, however it can also be a good idea to have OVHC even if it's not required, as medical expenses in Australia can be very expensive without insurance.

There are different types, depending on your visa type. For example, international students may need Overseas Student Health Cover - also known as OSHC.
