Global Synergy Migration and Education

Overseas Student Health Cover

Regarding OSHC (Overseas Student Health Cover) for international students in Australia, Global Synergy Migration and Education can help you by:

Explaining OSHC requirements:

That OSHC is mandatory for student visa holders in Australia.
The timeframe you need to cover (usually the full duration of your student visa).
What types of cover exist (single, couple, family).
Which providers are approved (e.g., Bupa Australia, Medibank Private, nib Health Funds, Allianz Care Australia, ahm Health Insurance) and how their plans compare.

Estimating the OSHC cost & timeline:

Helping you determine how much the OSHC premium will be for your course length.
Advising when you should purchase it (often before you lodge your visa or when you accept your institution offer).

Ensuring your cover start-date and end-date align with your visa/enrolment.

Arranging purchase / policy setup:

Guiding you to select the right provider and plan.
Helping you fill in the provider’s forms, make payment, issue the OSHC certificate.
Forwarding the OSHC certificate to you or your institution (you’ll need it for visa lodging and enrolment).

Coordinating with your student visa & enrolment process:

Ensuring OSHC is in place before your visa is granted (or as required).
Ensuring the institution knows your OSHC policy and you meet that requirement.
If your course length changes or visa dates shift, helping adjust the OSHC accordingly (e.g., extending cover).

Post-arrival support:

Possibly advising you how to claim on your OSHC when you see a doctor or go to hospital.
Helping you understand how your OSHC works during your stay.
