Do I have to pay for an Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)?

UPDATED 06 OCT 2025 | 5:11AM
It is a mandatory requirement that all international students on a student visa (subclass 500) must have an active Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) throughout the active duration of their student visa from the date of their arrival in Australia until the date that their visa expires.
If you wish to purchase your OSHC cover via Curtin, your policy will be issued with Medibank, our preferred provider.
