Health insurance is a mandatory requirement for all international students studying in Australia, and choosing the right coverage is an essential part of your study abroad journey. At SwifftConsult, we offer expert assistance in helping you understand, select, and arrange the appropriate Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) — ensuring you meet visa requirements and have peace of mind during your stay.
We guide you through the process of comparing OSHC policies from government-approved providers such as Bupa, Medibank, Allianz Care, Nib, and AHM. Our team explains what is included in your cover — from doctor visits and hospital treatment to emergency ambulance and prescription medicines — and helps you choose a plan that suits both your health needs and your budget.
Our services include:
- Explaining OSHC requirements for student visa (subclass 500) applicants
- Comparing plans and benefits across different providers
- Assisting with purchase and timely activation of your OSHC policy
- Coordinating extensions or changes if your visa duration or course timeline shifts
We also help students transitioning to Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) understand and arrange Overseas Visitor Health Cover (OVHC), which is required post-study.
With our guidance, you can feel confident that your health insurance is in place, compliant, and comprehensive — so you can focus on your studies and enjoy your time in Australia with fewer worries.
