Comprehensive Health Insurance for International Students:
OSHC Australia & Student Health Insurance New Zealand
Secure Your Health, Secure Your Future
Having health insurance is mandatory for international students planning to study or migrate to Australia or New Zealand. In Australia, this requirement is known as Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), which ensures that students can access essential healthcare services while residing in the country. OSHC typically covers visits to the doctor, hospital treatments, and limited pharmaceutical expenses.
Similarly, in New Zealand, international students must have health and travel insurance that covers medical expenses, hospital care, and medical evacuation. This insurance must be arranged before the student’s arrival and maintained throughout their stay. These measures are in place to safeguard students’ health and well-being, ensuring they receive necessary medical care without financial strain.
At VEVS Global, we understand the importance of having reliable health insurance while studying abroad. Navigating a new country comes with its own set of challenges, but worrying about your health shouldn’t be one of them. That’s why we offer comprehensive health insurance services tailored for international students in both Australia and New Zealand.
