You will need to show that you have it when applying for your student visa.

Quite often the university or college that you are studying at will offer you a policy at the time of accepting your offer but we would advise you to shop around to see if this is the right policy for you – sometimes OSHC quotes can be expensive, especially if you are travelling with a partner or family.

This is why Study Options has teamed up with Bupa to make sure you get the best deal on your health insurance. We encourage all students to compare the policy they have been offered to make sure it meets all their needs and is competitively priced.
