Health Insurance and Checkup
Health Requirements for Australian Student Visas
To obtain an Australian student visa, you must provide proof of good health. This requires a medical examination conducted by an authorized doctor.
Find an Authorized Doctor: Locate a doctor approved by the Australian government to conduct the necessary health check. You can find a list of authorized doctors on the Australian Department of Home Affairs website: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/contact-us/offices-and-locations/list Once you’ve found an authorized doctor, contact their office to schedule an appointment.
While it’s generally recommended to complete a health check before applying for your student visa, you may be able to apply for it after submitting your application. However, obtaining the health check beforehand can expedite the visa processing.
In addition to a health check, you’ll need to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the entire duration of your visa. The OSHC coverage should align with your course length to ensure a seamless visa process.
Need Help with OSHC? We can assist you in arranging an OSHC policy through our partnerships with leading insurance providers.
