Overseas Student Health Cover(OSHC)

Our preferred OSHC provider is BUPA. Your offer letter will provide more detail on costs depending on the expected length of your student visa.
Students undertaking short term study abroad or UOW College studies on other visa types (including tourist and working holiday visas) and student visa holders from Sweden and Norway are currently exempt from the requirement to obtain OSHC.
