What are the health insurance options for international students in Australia?
Healthcare in Australia is costly. As a result, claiming insurance is a part of the visa process for international students. The Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is designed to help students cover their medical expenses while studying in Australia. This health care is provided for international students as they don't have access to public health care. The lowest cost of a 12 months-valid OSHC is AUD 478 or INR 26,000 for singles cover and AUD 2,600 or INR 1.41 Lakh for couples cover. Some universities also organise health covers for their students so it would always be wise to enquire about everything from your uni.
