Do I need to pay Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)?

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is compulsory for all international students. You can purchase cover through Adelaide University's preferred provider when you accept your offer in the Online Application System, or you may choose your own provider. If you choose a different OSHC provider, you must provide proof of your cover when you accept your offer in the Online Application System.

There are some exceptions to this requirement. You don't need Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) if you have Reciprocal Health Care Agreement (RHCA).

For more information see Service Australia's Reciprocal Health Care Agreement (RHCA).
