OSHC Providers
OSHC WorldCare
The University has entered into an agreement with OSHC Worldcare as the preferred provider of OSHC to commencing international students. OSHC Worldcare covers you from the date of your arrival in Australia, and your membership card will be available for collection when you enrol (or shortly thereafter).
What Happens if You Don't Have an OSHC Card?
If you don't have your OSHC card with you at the time of appointment the University’s Health Service administrative staff can obtain the number by ringing your OSHC provider. As an overseas student you are required to have up-to-date OSHC. If you are waiting for a replacement card all medical expenses covered under your policy can be claimed once you have received your OSHC card.
